General Family Description
The General Family Description is that of a family of my acquaintance that emigrated from the country of Georgia to the U.S. All members of the family are Georgian.
• Zaza - 73 year old, white male, retired factory worker, Katy's grandfather. Zara functions along with his wife Lea, (who does not figure in this interaction) as the parent for Katy during the workday.
• Kvely - 45 year old white male, the son of Zaza and the father of Katy and Lela. Kvely is University educated and was an entrepreneur and had a small but successful business in Georgia. He won the lottery to gain US citizenship, and thought it would be best for the family’s future to migrate to the U.S. where there would be more opportunity- especially for his children. However, his lack of fluid English and his skills and prior experience have not been valued highly in the US and he has been forced into menial work to make ends meet. His loss of personal pride and his diminished self- confidence are a large stressor for this family that must struggle now on several levels.
• Eka - 44 year old, white woman, a program assistant in an adult day care center. She is the wife of Kvely and mother of two daughters, Katy and Lela.
