A View on the Mongolian Trafficking Situation: "By MICHELLE TOLSON
My first work in Mongolia, was with an NGO that works with young children from the ger district abandoned by their parents (New Choice Children’s Charity). I was able to see firsthand, how poverty shaped their lives. Many of the children (living a residential facility called an orphanage) were especially small for their age, and had problems in education, requiring extra assistance. Though every effort was made to merge the children into mainstream education, the orphanages also taught them vocational skills, to further increase their options. Further researching the reports by UNICEF, it became clear that these children would have a more difficult time finding mainstream employment, as well as other children from ger districts. The reports considered such children to be at risk for trafficking."
