This 83 year old fellow and I enjoyed a nice cup of tea and a friendly conversation, thanks to a translator. We were sitting on the floor of his small but nicely decorated Ger , where he lives with his wife and grand daughter. They are in the process of obtaining a loan for a storage unit for the vegetables they grow in the summer.
The Ger is in Baganuur, Mongolia, where CHF has a branch office. It is a town of about 26 thousand folk two hours to the East of Ulanbaataar. It is a mining town and all of the coal that is used to heat Ulaanbaataar comes out of Baganuur.
His grand daughter was even cuter then the picture. When we went into the Ger, the guests move to the left and the residents move to the right.
It is a very small but very neat ger. She very carefully folded up her coat and put it away and then helped her grandmother get the refreshments out for us. She helped me with the camera some and took te picture of her gradfather with me on the floor.
