Khevischala –20 years without electricity
“When you pass the village Matani,
there is a turn that goes up. But you will not be able to drive by car.
Walking would be hard as well. It is probably more than 4 kilometers
from the main road and the path is very hard,” – told us the taxi
driver when we asked him to show us the way to Khevischala in Akhmeta
auto station. We passed Matani, took the turn, passed several meters,
crossed the river twice, but could not do it third time. It was too
deep. Then we started walking, but we could not see any houses. We met
a shepherd. He was resting in the shadow. He asked us: Who are you,
what do you want in that village?
