Projects Abroad in Mongolia

by: Projects Abroad

8.5 (2)Verified

Mongolia is a unique and adventurous place to spend time on a volunteer program or internship.

Program Highlights

Travel opportunities could take you into the steppe living with a local nomadic tribe in a Ger where you may find yourself gathering camel dung to put on the fire.

I won't ever forget my time here. The work with children in the Mental Health Hospital was particularly life-changing. Most psychiatrists there went above and beyond educating me on how culture and treatment work at the hospital.

There and Back - Living and working in Ulaanbaatar

During the countless changes and transformations that living in Ulaanbaatar has brought me, there lies a bittersweet realisation that my time here is finite. Octavia Butler said in her opening of The Parable of the Sower, "All that you touch, you change. All that you change changes you." As I approach the end of my stay and prepare to return to my other world, I reflect on this experience's profound impact on my perspective as a graduate social work student.
