Javakheti problem in Georgia

I would like to pay you attention to one of the most important problems Georgia (Country south to Russia) is facing at the moment.
Javakheti - one of the regions of Georgia bordering with Armenia is densely populated by Armenian population. The problem is that education is on a very low level in the area and teachers in the local schools are mostly Armenians, meaning children educated don't know any of the languages. They are not able to speak, read or write in Georgian (Georgia's National Language), nor in Russian, which used to be second language for Georgia during Soviet Union, and all they can speak is strange dialectic Armenian, which is very hard to understand even for Armenians living in Armenia.
Now a group of people with the help of some funds are going to create a small web place for children living in Tbilisi (Capital of Georgia) and in Javakheti region to communicate with each other. This website is supposed to use Google Blogger to exchange ideas among them; the main problem still exists is a problem of communication language.
If any of you have faced any similar problems please post your feedback to give more chance of development to people who need it.
