A new Head of the Ninotsminda Boarding School, Archbishop Iakob (Konstantine Iakobashvili) of Bodbe, and Georgian Public Defender Nino Lomjaria will meet on June 17, the Patriarchate reported.

The meeting to be held at the Andrew the First-Called Georgian University of the Georgian Patriarchate will address problems at the Boarding School.

Public Defender recently reported alleged crimes and inhuman treatment against children at the Ninotsminda Boarding School.

Former orphanage supervisor Bishop Spiridon denied the Public Defender’s Office to carry out a monitoring visit that caused much anxiety in the society. The investigation is underway.

The Georgian Patriarchate appointed Archbishop Iakob (Iakobishvili) of Bodbe to supervise this foster home. The newly-appointed head told reporters that Bishop Spiridon quit on his own decision.
