It was a beautiful place and the kids seemed really happy - we got there just before they had morning tea and a nap. but this is an exception - this was a brand new kindergarten (i think it was sponsored by "save the children" org) and the kids who were lucky enough to come here had to be chosen. not all the kids in the small town and surrounding area have the privilge. We also visited a school in this area and the classrooms were seriously crowded and crumbly and didn't look very nice at all. Its a pretty tough life in Mongolia, but there are a lot of positive community projects happening. like this one!

Cute picture! The classroom looks really bright and cheery - a happy place.
