Title – Mongolian Family
Date – August 2002
Location - Khovsgol – Mongolia
Keeping your promises is very important; don’t offer what you are not willing to give. One of the most precious possessions of any Mongolian family are the very few photographs they have of their family. Many times these photographs are official photographs from the time of their military service. When the family realised that I was willing to send them some photos from my trip, they begged me to take photographs of the family and the next day family members from across the valleys gathered for a photo shoot that went on for half a day. The experience was certainly a stark reminder of the importance of family that remains very strong in the country.
At Beyond The Blue we keep our promises. Customer satisfaction is the top of our list of goals and our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop can help you to keep those promises you have made to yourself; to have the confidence to get out and see all that the world has to offer.
Beyond The Blue 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
