Countryside kindergartens


Our organization is all about children. Everything we do is based first and foremost on a foundation of caring for children. This past week I had the pleasure of visiting 4 little towns surrounding Darkhan where we support kindergartens for children who otherwise would not be able to pay to attend. We provide money to help support the teachers and feed the kids healthy meals. My sweet friend Norjin is our staff in charge of this ministry, and I got to accompany her as she made her rounds to the towns of Baruun Buren, Sant, Orkhon and Khotol. We were treated with overwhelming hospitality and gratitude, and I got to visit many of the kids in person. All of these children are from poor families, and the kindergarten meets critical needs for the family - the kids get education and nourishing food, and the parents are able to work during the day. This little group was prepared for our arrival, all decked out in Mongolian garb!
