He was born in Paris and raised there.
Redjeb recalls his Georgia Today exclusive interview in 2020.
“I went to Georgia for the first time in 1990. Glasnost made it possible. After that I visited Georgia many times. In the 1990s, I saw what was happening in Georgia and asked myself: What can I do to assist? I decided to help Georgia to connect with the Western World, as this was what they most wanted. My way of doing this was to organize summer language courses in American–English. We recruited American volunteers to teach the courses for 6 weeks every summer, over a period of several years. After that, Georgia became better organized, and the teaching English became official. They didn’t need my help anymore. I kept in touch with Georgia, the Georgian colonies of the US and Paris and Georgians living there.”
