i-to-i: Volunteer in Mongolia
Mongolia is almost a world of its own. Only recently has it welcomed outside visitors, and even now only a few trickle in to observe Mongolia’s fascinating landscape, culture and people. But even those few visitors don’t see what i-to-i volunteers come to learn: that the nomadic people of Mongolia are facing the challenges of stepping into a modern age. From helping abandoned children to teaching English in business schools, there’s much to do.
