The Ger District Trip.

Last Tuesday, the 12th of May, the grade 10 class went on a field trip to the Ger District in UB.
First, we went on a very interesting and fun tour of the Ger District. We visited a few families, and most importantly we visited the Flourishing Future, the community center. We talked to the students in the Head-start where the students prepared for school by reading and writing in Mongolian language. We all looked at their progress in reading and writing.
After this, we visited the family that we were building the fence for. All of us worked hard (except Choong Hwan :D) We dug a toilet for the family, we set up posts for the rest of the fence that is about to be built. It was hard work, but it payed off.
We got to see and understand what their lives are like. It was very interesting hearing all the stories about the families. I can not imagine how hard it is for those people to live their lives like this. We are not used to this and most of us can not understand what it is like.
Anyway, for me personally it was a fun,interesting,new and a very good experience because I got to see, get to know what their lives are like. Most of us live in our own bubbles and sometimes it is neccessary to get out of them and think about others,about consequences and about life out there.
Thankss =).
