The Tvrdiks are a family living here in Mongolia... I don't think I've ever met them, but I've read their blog over the years from time to time. I love how they live in the ger district. I love the way Shari is transparent about what she's experiencing... and I love the way her words and thoughts challenge me. And make me want to be more, more than what I am today...

but on a lighter note:

10 things that stood out when Shari came back to Mongolia:

Flat Selia comes to Orchlon

We've been long awaiting her arrival...
and today, Flat Selia arrived here at school. Yay! She came from Taiwan about a month ago, and was stuck in the post office for a while (busy being feted by the friendly staff there!). Today Tseegi egch picked her up and brought here to my office.

The ninth graders had fun showing her around the school in various groups. First, they went to the gym and played some sports together...
