Tim Merkel, a student from St. John's College, found the opportunity through OLEG to support a cause, grow as a student and travel outside of the United states for the first time. He loved it so much he wants to go back. He writes: 
On October 5th, 2009 Jumberi Chkuaseli passed away at his home in Tsitelmta, Georgia at the age of 69. I first met Jumberi as I walked up to his home, a home that his ancestors built over 250 years ago and still stands today. The day before our coordinator and friend Lika Megreladze had requested that Jumberi teach our group of Americans to sing Georgian folk songs. A small group of us went to meet him in Guria in June before our large group of 14 came in August. He quickly took us in and sat us around a table and started to teach us "Suliko".
