Yesterday we went to meet with our Sponsor that signed the papers to allow us to get into Mongolia. She runs the orphanage where we will teach English the next two years. We met briefly with her a couple of weeks ago but she and 20 of the 40 children in the orphanage were leaving the next day for Japan. This is the 13th year they have taken a group there performing Mongolian songs, dances, music and contortions. We called on Monday to set an appointment to discuss when we will begin teaching. We will start August 1st teaching four classes of ten children.
When we got there she had the kids perform the one and a half hour program for us. It was wonderful. She then announced that the Japanese Agency that invites them each year to perform in 13 cities over two weeks has invited them to come twice a year.
We took a lot of pictures are including so you get an idea of the variety of performances and costumes. They all take dancing lessons, art, music, sewing, cooking, gardening and on and on. They designed and sewed their own costumes. They are amazing!! We can't wait to teach them.
