Title – Family Home
Date – August 2002
Location - Khovsgol – Mongolia
Little House on the Prairie or Little House on the Steppe, the story is the same. 45% of Mongolians are still nomadic; every year they pack up and move their Gers (traditional round felt tents) from the winter grazing grounds to the summer ones and back again. Small holdings are slowly starting to emerge in the outskirts of some small permanent villages and some Mongolians are ‘settling down’; but with over 1.2 million still choosing the nomadic lifestyles, it can still sometimes feel like the whole country is on the move and nothing seems permanent.
At Beyond The Blue we stay in the same place. We are easy to contact, no hunting round for our details just click on 'Contact Us' and you’ll find or e-mail address, telephone numbers and postal address. If you require further information on our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop we would be happy to provide you with the detail you require.
We maintains a particular interest in Mongolia. The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation through their operations in Mongolia, work with street kids and children from poor families, to offer support and assistance in escaping the cycle of poverty. The invaluable work the Foundation carries out, helps provide opportunities to the children of this amazing country.
Some of the Street Kids of Ulaan Baatar are forced to live in the city’s sewer system, sleeping on top of the hot water pipes to stay warm and to stay alive. Temperature in the city regularly drops below -35C in the winter months and this is the only way they can survive. For more information we urge you to visit The Christina Nobel Children’s Foundation web site at www.CNCF.org
