NEED HUMANITARIAN HELP 
AFTER FLOOD
            
On July 10th, a  terrible flood wiped out a portion of Ulgii  City, the center of Bayan-Ulgii Aimag in western  Mongolia. The mud-flood destroyed 170
households, and one child died.
Currently, there are around 700 people
who have become homeless in Bayan-Ulgii
and are taking shelter inside local school
buildings and at relatives' homes.
The Ulaanbaatar Committee is collecting money for school supplies to help the children affected by the flooding. If you would like to make a donation, please do so HERE
If you have any questions, please email
