This past weekend I took a trip down to the Gobi to visit Hanhongor, to say hello to my friends and former students, to donate some more books to the student center that I started, and to hold two trainings. It was a quick but lovely trip, and I plan to go back in the spring and spend a few days teaching some special classes for the students and teachers. Here are a few shots from my trip.
Where our ger used to stand :(
The new town park complete with benches, a fountain and trash cans!
The new government building. We tried to see around inside, but no one seemed to be working that day...
Another change: live chickens.
Enkhstsetseg with her granddaughter Aminerdene...
and with her grandson Bilguundalai.
A gaggle of cuties at school.
Although the 1st grade class for the last 2 years has had 8 and 9 students, this year's has 26!
I brought cake with me to celebrate all the teacher and staff October birthdays.
Making wishes before blowing out their candles and...
enjoying their noisemakers.
By special request I taught a class on making cookies.
As well as a training on cross discipline subject matter teaching.
Anyone interested in joining me on my next trip?
