Updates

Pictures
Sorry folks, our memory stick was infected with Trojan virus during the last upload of pictures in our previous post.
We've decided to update all pictures when we're back in Singapore sometime Mid July.

Summer Camp
As of now, there is no fix date as of when the children can go to the summer camp as we are still waiting for the authorities' approval. The ger mothers will recce Tereji National Park on Tues and we have been tasked to baby-sit all the children in the living quarters.
Hopefully, after the recce, we can have a more concrete date.

Children Day
1st June is Mongolia Children Day.
We used part of the fund that we have collected to buy goodies and nicely wrapped for the Lotus kids.



A full-day party was held at the school compound yesterday.





Alice's little Basca
Alice was not feeling well last friday (30th May) and thus did not join the other 2 gals to Lotus.
On that fateful day, a relative of little Basca came, picked up little Basca and his elder brother and they have left Lotus for good.
Kind of mixed feelings over his leaving the centre... Alice is at a loss for words... (sob.... sob...)



New Discoveries (especially for former VA gals)
Chinzorig, Gantulga (aka Ganaa), Zayaa (1st Beckham) - very naughty boys and big bullies ..
2nd Beckham and Altan Bagan (aka Austonpang) - quiet, shy and non-destructive boys...
Uuganna - sticking to his "mummy" Jo every single minute (KNS!!!)
Bartedeng - not very sticky to us now... think due to the absence of Kellie... :)
