Women and Travel and Giving

Mongolia – Culture and Giving as a Traveler.
In remote Western Mongolia, there is a sprinkling of brilliant white snow on the mountains and as we come over a slight rise, a few small gers come into view. Allen is looking for some directions.

Mongolia’s Children and The Beanie Project
The diminutive figure of a Mongolian woman came wading across the icy river near where we were camped. Holding her boots up high, fast flowing, foamy rapids threatened to swamp her as she struggled to find her footing. Pulling herself up onto the bank a few metres from where I was standing, she looked up at me, smiled a weathered grin and pulled her herder’s boots back on. I smiled a big greeting back to her then greeted her with the … [Read more...]
