Valley Life : YOUTH ON THE MOVE - Frontiersman

Valley Life : YOUTH ON THE MOVE - Frontiersman: "The first week of the program was spent in the capital of Ulaanbaatar where we received language and cultural training with our Mongolian host siblings from multiple Peace Corps workers stationed in Mongolia. We also were guests at a reception at the American Embassy provided by the American ambassador. We were entertained by the Mongolian Dance and Music Ensemble, toured the National Museum, the Gandan Buddhist Monastery, the Museum of Traditional Medicine and Bogd Khaan’s Palace.

For the next two weeks, American participants stayed in the homes of their host siblings. The four districts for the home-stays were Ulaanbaatar, Selenge, Baganuur and Arkhangai. I stayed with my host family in the northern province of Selenge."
