Friends of Mongolia

This is an email sent by friend of mine/ peace corps volunteer who just finished her service.

Take a look:


Dear Friends,

As you know, I have recently completed two years of service in the Peace Corps in Mongolia. As a former volunteer I am member of The Friends of Mongolia, an organization that provides funds for community development projects, scholarships and other activities to benefit the people of Mongolia.

Friends of Mongolia is currently raising funds to bring 12 secondary school students and 2 teachers from a small town in the Gobi to Ohio to participate in the Middfest International Mongolian Festival in Cincinnati this Ohio, in which they will perform traditional Mongolian music and dance. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these Mongolians as well as a wonderful chance for Americans to meet these talented young people and experience a piece of their beautiful culture. You can read more about this initiative at the following address:

Currently a few thousand dollars more is required to pay for the airfare of the participants. I'd like to ask folks, especially those who have been to Mongolia and care for the place to make a donation to help them out. If you would like to make a donation, please go to the following website:

No amount is to small! It's all tax deductable and it's secure through PayPal.

Thanks a lot!
Dayla
