Busy Days with People in UB

Much going on here in Kathy and my life in Mongolia :) I visited a special little presentation at a place called Monkor, a center for underprivileged children in an area not too far from MIU. MIU has been involved with it for some time now. Wie, Hye Mee and Kimberly are involved there. A lot is being accomplished during the flurry of activity and programs going on.

Last week Jonathan Addleton, U.S. Ambassador to Mongolia, visited MIU to meet with staff and students. It was an interesting time for us. He is a great guy, down-to-earth, caring, and interested in people. You can see more at this link:  http://mongolia.usembassy.gov/ambassador_bio.html

I have also posted some random shots of friends at MIU, the graduation of a friend named Oyumaa, one of the LEI students who worked so hard for her master's degree at a city university, and some of our little friends who visited our home recently.
