Today Dream Team England and Dream Team Mongolia had parallel activities to raise funds for the summer camp for children from poor areas in UB that is planned for mid-June. Here in Mongolia we were supposed to walk from Sukhbaatar Square in central UB to the Zaisan monument, but plans were changed and we stopped mid-way, in the Children's Park.
Bolormaa and myself gave a short talk to explain what Dream Discovery Academy and the Dream Teams are all about, namely to help children in orphanages and poor areas get self-esteem and create dreams that can be realised (see links to the right for more information).
After the short speeches, Zulaa and Bolormaa organised some games to promote communication between the two language communities - Mongolians are very eager to practice their English and ask all sorts of questions, about hobbies, favourite seasons, age, favourite animals etc etc.
