Orphanages in Mongolia - Video from our Language Practicum
Bernie Anderson
Here is the video that we produced for our language practicum. We visited two different orphanages and the "Save the Children" offices. The first is a Catholic Orphanage for Children 4-22 years old. The second is an Orphanage run by a coalition of Churches and is specifically for young children (0-4). These kids have either come from an abusive background, were abandonded at birth, or have had one or both of their parents pass away. It was really quite interesting to interview the Orphanage staff in both places (in the limited way that we could).
The video is nothing fancy. Just a montage of photos put to some Mongolian Music. The song at the beginning is kids from the first Orphange. True to Mongolian culture, they were quick to share a song with us! Click on the picture below and enjoy!

Hey Bernie and Renee! This is an awesome video . . . you did great! And I had no idea that you were learning a Cyrillic language!!!!!! Having learned two myself, you have my deepest and utmost sympathies :-( Crap these languages are hard . . . but those kids are worthy of your efforts. Blessings, David
