Thank you for taking the time to learn about our mission. I  am writing you as the President and Executive Director of OLEG (Organization for Liberal Education in Georgia) Inc., an independent nonprofit with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status founded by St. John’s College students and alumni. OLEG's  mission is to promote traditional liberal arts education in the country of Georgia and provide the opportunity for students to study abroad. At the foot of the Caucasus mountains of conflict-ridden Georgia, there is a school which models itself after the program of St. John’s College.  The mission of New Gelati Academy, founded in May 2008, within Grigol Robakidze University in Tbilisi, Georgia is to revive traditional liberal arts education in the country of Georgia. The pillars of their curriculum are: "Great Books", Discussion based classes and Study of original texts.

Having traveled and worked with New Gelati Academy in the summers of 2008 and 2009,  I am personally committed to the success of New Gelati Academy and to giving what I got from my experience to other students. Through OLEG's partnership with New Gelati Academy we have identified their primary needs as

OLEG will continue to assist and work with New Gelati to achieve these goals and seek out more ways to fullfil our larger mission of promoting traditional liberal arts education in the country of Georgia. I invite you to learn more about us by exploring our website. Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,
Noel Brockett
