Lotus Expedition - Background

This blog was created to share our experiences with friends and families on our new expedition to Lotus Children Centre, Mongolia sometime mid May08

This center was set up by an Australian lady in 1996 to provide a shelter for the street children who came from horrible backgrounds like abandonment, abuse by drunkard parents, sexual abuse, domestic violence etc etc. The center has now expanded to 150 children and the number is still growing as there are too many of such cases happening in Mongolia.

If you would like to find out more of Lotus Children Centre, you can visit their website: http://www.lotuschild.org/.
Last year, we had the opportunity to visit Lotus Children Centre and spent 14 days with the kids in the summer camp.

Photo below was taken during our last day in the summer camp with the kids.


These children are so dear to us and we can't wait to tell them that we are going back this year to spend more time with them !!
