THE GREEN LION
💼 What the programme involves
Our healthcare education initiative is in its infancy and requires the skills of both established medical and healthcare professionals and those interested in teaching basic first aid and hygiene. This need for having you on either end of the medical spectrum arises due to the great extremes in hygiene and health practices. Apart from needing qualified professionals in order to conduct health camps and dental checkups, we also need participants who can educate people in the areas of basic first aid and personal hygiene such as washing hands, brushing teeth and general cleanliness. This works towards the prevention of many avoidable health problems and easily communicable diseases.
In comparison to the teaching project, our medical initiative is in its infancy, and in view of this both established medical care professionals and those just with an interest in teaching simple hygiene are of immense value to us. Many important things, by which we mean important for their immediate and future health, are quite often not common practice with the children you will meet. Here we are talking about the importance of simple hygiene, washing hands, brushing teeth and basically general cleanliness overall, clothes as well.
Participants with an interest in educating simple hygiene techniques are welcome to join the newly established healthcare education project. Medical professionals who can offer guidance on the project's development would be immensely valuable, however, it is not imperative that participants need to have a medical background to join us. We also run healthcare campaigns in local schools around Ulaanbaatar, actively teaching the importance of basic hygiene emphasizing brushing teeth correctly, washing hands and general body cleanliness. Many of our daily routines that we carry out without thinking are not a common practice with the children you will meet, but starting simple education early can go a long way for immediate and future healthcare. For participants with a medical background, checkup clinics can be held for local children and adults.

Ulaanbaatar the capital is a beautiful city offers big contrasts, one minute you're dodging the path of a Hummer H2 and the next you're mystified by groaning Buddhist monks at Gandan Khiid.
