Here are a few shots I took while I was working on the Taiga Project in Khuvsgul a few weeks ago.
The Taiga Project is a community focused summer camp organized by PCVs and the Dukha community in the Taiga region of Khuvsgul province. My group of about seven PCVs will be spending our week in the East Taiga working with HCNs on health behavior change, youth leadership, and community empowerment. The Dukha community is the smallest ethnic group in Mongolia, consisting of about 200 people. These families make their living herding reindeer and selling goods to the tourists who come up each summer.
