Spring time ger in a dust storm
They say spring here is very temperamental. If you are a moody person, Mongolian people will call you 'spring'. On our trip of 5 days we had t-shirt weather and sun, cold wind, hot dust storms, rain and then on the way home a snow storm... oh yes, i can confirm spring in Mongolia is temperamental!

We're glad for the new pictures and stories...they are, as usual, very good. THANKS!
aw shucks... thanks to you. if only my own parents were as interested! no i shouldn't be too hard on them, they are coming to visit in a few weeks and it will be quite an experience for them i imagine. i'm looking forward to it!
Hi Julia:
Your parents might be of the generation that finds all this computer stuff nonsense??? Maybe commenting is not their "thing." I am glad they're coming to see you. I assume they are quite proud of your adventurous spirit and your generosity.
I love the dust storm. I am a "spring."
hi V of F - my mum and dad are of that generation, but i think they've both done very well on their computer skills / relationship. My dad still remains very suspicious, but i think thats healthy.
i'm not sure why they don't tune into my blog, possibly because they don't have the time, possibly because they don't really use computers for non-work purposes, possibly other reasons... who knows?
i think i might be a spring too.
i love ur blog....mangolia seems wonderful & u seem lucky to be there
wht do do there?& why did u go?
hi kavita - thank you for your compliment. to answer your questions - I am working here as a volunteer for a year, on an australian volunteer program. i've been working with a couple of NGOs but my main org is called 'foundation for the empowerment of rural women'. the work has been a bit all over the place, but i'm working in community organisation 'capacity building'. my background is in envrionmental stuff, so its a bit different to what i'm used to. i haven't done much so far except put project proposals together and did a survey on rural community orgs, ran a workshop for them, and planning training for next month for 'how to start a community group' for rural women. but my placement finishes in sept... not far away. hopefully i'll be able to continue helping out after i leave.
