Hello. This blog will describe my work and experiences as a teacher with Voluntary Service Overseas (V.S.O.) in Choibalsan, Mongolia. I am here to work with teachers at a Kindergarten, to help develop interactive teaching methods. I am also here to learn about a very different part of the world, to see how people cope with very extreme weather conditions, and to make new friends. I will try to update this blog once or twice a month, but internet connections are also affected by weather and interruptions in the power supply ....
If you would like to post questions, my colleagues and I will answer them as quickly as possible. You many need to wait a few days or a couple of weeks, but please be patient! I'm sure there will be many similarities as well as many differences in life for Scottish and Mongolian pupils. The first thing I've discovered is that the summer holidays are 3 months long, as it is very difficult to carry on working in the intense heat - for days on end it is over 40 degrees Celsius .... But we don't have a Christmas holiday, as this is a Buddhist country. Och well!!
Best regards for now from Ulaanbaatar,
Lesley Harrison.
