Feed 80 Homeless People in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia

 Dear All,

Thank you very much for the generous spirit of all our patrons who have made it possible for us to continue with our services for the most vulnerable homeless people of Ulaanbataar for the last eleven years.

Although, material development has been remarkable for this century, through science and technology but basic human problems and needs still remain to this day to be resolved. This is true for all of us who have fallen off the track of life's success and hit the road of desperation and poverty.

In the city of Ulaanbataar the soup kitchen from the Lamp of the Path-NGO stands to make a difference in the lives of those of us who have fallen under hard times. Although the winter of 2013/2014 has not been as severe as the last one, yet the number of beneficiaries seeking the support of the soup kitchen has grown to number at least one hundred. The number of beneficiaries does increase during the winter months as there is far less work available.

Winter is the most expensive time frame for our budget as the cost of utilities skyrocket and the additional cost of providing winter clothing and boots take a toll on our budget. Moreover, this year we had the added misfortune of have frozen water pipes from the well to the kitchen that brought on the added task of carrying our water from the well to the kitchen in wheel barrow.

The soup kitchen is serviced by our warm and friendly Mongolian lady cook who really has her heart and soul in the service of the homeless, going the extra mile in the making of the food, reaching out to them and befriending them.
