Spring semester is underway at LEI !

Lots of things have been happening around our university these days. I am posting photos this time about three things:

1. Visits to some high schools to tell them about Mongolia International University and Language Education Institute where I work ...

2. Our LEI talent show!

3. Nowruz, the Persian New Year that many at our university celebrate.

First, our visits to high schools. It has been good to go out with Chimgee, Nagi, Ricardo and Yulia to some schools in the last month or so. It's so interesting to see the schools, the way they are run, the differences between them, and the students.

We had a great time at the LEI Talent Show. Kathy and I and two others were judges at the competition. Lots of students put on some great shows. We have been doing this for the last several years.

Nowruz, the Persian New Year that many at our university celebrate, was a great time. So interesting to see the dancing and performances and to taste the food!

And some  final shots of Maagi's birthday at LEI, of me on one of my walks along the railroad, and of little Gracie, the daughter of one of the families in our church. Fun time!
