Secure Livelihoods Group Network Meeting, February 2008.

The meeting was held in the UB2 Hotel, Terelj. 15 of us in all including new VSO arrivals in Mongolia, Brian, Philippa, Sandra and Sheila. We talked over different stuff including a really interesting session on what progress we as individuals were making in our different placements. In the secure livelihoods group there are such a diversity of placements, ranging from vetinary via fabric design to construction. The focus for us all is to help the 30% + of the local population get a secure livelihood, whether it is from herding, cashmere producing or bricklaying.

With an overnight stay, time to socialise. Clare and Greg are the other couple in the group, both also having placements with VSO. Another 2 for the price of 1 package!!!!
