Never a dull Moment

This afternoon we picked up David and Jayne, and headed to a little village with a very enthusiastic local Lady. Her name is Anagool. She is a mover and a shaker in her village. She brought us to the home that her father grew up in and shared how they would like to turn it into a museum. They wish to preserve some of the ancient skills before they are lost. They would also like to build a Yurt that people could come and stay at and experience the traditional way of life. Anagool works to help people start small businesses to provide a little extra money for them. She has some of the "artisans" that will teach the craft to the next generation. We toured a few of the homes and saw some of the work. One of the problems is that to buy the good quality felt you must buy in bulk as most of it is now being exported. Although this is something we are working on for "Simple Dreams" , we could not resist an opportunity to get them started. we commissioned 10 of these nativity sets up . This will allow them to purchase the materials needed to teach the next generation ... so in a few weeks they will be finished and we will be in the yurt business..... If anyone would like to buy one, for a minimum donation of $25 I will bring you one home and mail it out the first week of September. Anything over the $25 will go to Anagools Yurt project .....She has $2000 to go.
I forgot to mention ... once the yurt is built, proceeds will go to 1)teach English to the kids in the village.. .
2)to purchase computers for the school. & 3) they think it would be great if the road in their town was paved!
