Mobile Teepee Library for the Tsataan Nomads

Thank you everyone for your support of our mobile teepee library project! This year our partner volunteers split into two groups to visit East and West Taiga and teach English and basic health skills. Both camps had a successful couple of weeks and are planning to continue in the years to come. We have put all the teepee materials into storage for use next years and the books and other supplies that we sent up are currently being used by students at the Hatgal school near Huvsgul Lake. 

We are eager to continue working in the region and will reactivate this project when the time comes to do another push for books and materials that will be needed.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and encouragement!

We have exciting news to share about our Mobile Library project in Tsagaanuur! We just packed up numerous boxes of English books, school supplies, and materials needed to setup 2 teepee libraries in the Tsataan summer camps in East and West Taigas. 24 Peace Corps volunteers are splitting into two teams and making the long trip to setup the libraries and spend two weeks doing training, English teaching, and health checkups. It's very exciting for us to see this project happening and will post a new report in about two weeks after the pictures are in and we have reports from both teams. Serdamba, our contact from a local regional school is very eager see this project be a success and he will use the materials provided at his school during the school year and winter as well. It is great to work with such motivated people! Thank you all for your support. Photos and final project report coming soon.
