THE GREEN LION
💼 What the programme involves
The restoration and renovation project supports small village communities in and around Ulaanbaatar. It aims to build and renovate buildings that are essential for the growth and development of the local community. We generally work on schools, centres, playgrounds and public libraries and support local families by improving living conditions. Our project helps relieve them of some of the stress and pressure that they are living under. Participants work under a local foreman (coordinator) who provides guidance and training alongside local families and other participants. The project involves hard physical and manual labor, as you will be laying bricks, doing carpentry, painting, laying tiles, and landscaping/gardening.
All information about the project and various activities will be provided to you by our local coordinator on arrival. participants will not be given project preference and are required to join ongoing and existing projects or carry out other construction and renovation work as required by the local community.

📍 About the location
Mongolia is truly one of the world”™s last undiscovered travel destinations and the safest country to visit. It is a land where you can experience wide-open spaces, cobalt blue skies, forests, deserts, crystal clear rivers and lakes, and the traditional hospitality of the nomads.
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. It's a wild place that bursts into life after slumbering through a long winter. This ever-changing city may be the biggest surprise of your Mongolian adventure.
