Last week the first preparations were made to get ready for building the house. The kitchen ger has been moved in order to make space for the new house. Everybody was helping to take it down and rebuild it in its new spot.

Since the middle of April John Rathmill, a building engineer from the UK is staying in Ulaanbaatar for three months as a volunteer. He is in charge of supervising the construction, visiting the architect and is checking their plans and moreover he is looking for a reliable and professional building company and finding out which materials are right for the house construction.

Nowadays computer skills are becoming more and more important and the same applies in Mongolia. Unfortunately none of the children attending the day care centre are getting a chance to use one, either at home or at school. Therefore we appreciate and are grateful for the laptops which were donated by Outlook Expeditions from Bangor (UK). Last year the company sent four groups of enthusiastic and motivated young adults to do volunteer work at the day care centre. They did some renovation work at the small house and painted murals on the walls around the hasha. One group went to the countryside with the kids. The donation of the laptops makes it possible for us to offer computer lessons to the children and their families. A warm and very big thank you to Outlook Expeditions!
