We’ve always held that books are a wonderful repository of cultural wealth. So we were delighted to be approached by long-time supporter and frequent far-east traveler Sharon Bard about a book exchange with a school in the Khovsgol Lake region of Mongolia. We sent three books over and received several in return, some written in Cyrillic, and some in the traditional Mongolian script. These books are now available on board the Free Bookmobile! Here’s a message from the teacher in the town of Khargal:
“I am glad that books arrived and hope some children will enjoy reading them. Books you brought will be read by my english class students as a self study. I am always happy when native english speakers give opportunity for my students to speak face to face with them. I think this book exchange will bring cultural awareness to children. Thanks for everything again.
With best wishes, Nergui Enebish”
The photos below show the books we sent and then later received, teacher Nergui Enebish and one of her bilingual books, as well as Sharon’s group of Americans in the classroom with local students. Big thanks to Sharon and Nergui for making this exchange possible! We welcome the opportunity to participate in additional book trades in the future. Feel free to be in touch if you are travelling to an unusual foreign land!
