During the Cold War, Mongolia was essentially a buffer state between the two great antagonists of the communist world. Though allied to Russia, the Mongolians were careful to maintain good relations with the Chinese. Early in 1990, following developments in the USSR, the MAKN ceded its monopoly of political power and promised multi-party elections within months. The MAKN has held power continuously ever since, with the exception of a brief hiatus in 1996-97 when an alliance of opposition parties took power under the banner of the Democratic Alliance Government Under the new constitution, which took effect in February 1992, Mongolia has a unicameral legislature, the 76-member Great Hural, which is elected for a four-year term and appoints ministers who hold executive power. The President, who is also elected for a four-year term, is head of state. Since May 1994, Mongolia has been divided into 21 provinces and one municipality (Ulaan Baatar), with appointed Governors and elected local assemblies.

Students earn 16 semester credits on a 15-week experience designed to encourage a global awareness that enables people to live and act in an interdependent world. Groups of seven to 25 students are lead by one or two academic directors. Mongolia is both protected and restricted by its dramatic physical environment, which includes the Gobi Desert as well as vast mountain and forest steppes. Landlocked between Siberia and northern China, this rugged nation remains largely isolated from global development efforts. Its essentially nomadic population continues to practice pastoralism, living in traditional ger, or felt tents, and moving constantly over an area twice the size of Texas. In the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, home of the Academy of Sciences and local universities, you study strategies for development and efforts to balance open-door policies with those that focus on nationalism and the protection of indigenous cultural values. Field excursions to Mongolia's spacious interior, including a homestay in a nomadic camp, give you a firsthand appreciation of the endangered way of life that many Mongolians are striving to protect.

The year that I left, many of the other teachers left, so this gathering gave many of us a chance to get together for one of the last times. These are the students in my 1B class. We are all gathered together at the end of the school year in our classroom for one last photo. As you can see, the students are very happy about the end of the school year and looking forward to summer break. This is my 4B class. These students are one class of three that graduated during the spring of 1996. In fact, this was the FIRST class to graduate from the Erdenet Foreign Language Institute. I worked with these students on Buisness English. This picture, taken on graduation day, was a joyous day for all involved. These are the students from my 1C class when the graduated in the spring of 1998. I wish I had been able to be there with them in person, but I do feel that I was with them in heart. It was such a joy for me to get this picture and see how far they had come from the time that I first met them. They are all GREAT people and I know that they will all have very successful futures.

FPMT Mongolia: Re-igniting Buddhism in Central Asia In late 1999, Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche established FPMT Mongolia (a non-profit organisation) to help re-light the lamp of Mongolian Buddhist culture - which was almost completely destroyed by the Communist regime from 1921 to 1990 - and to provide assistance for the poor and under-privileged. Five years have passed since the project's inception and there is now a great deal to report. The first major success was the establishment of the City Center (known as Shedrup Ling) in the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. This center not only teaches the Dharma, but also serves as an administrative base for a wide range of programs in Mongolia. With this as a starting point, generous donors from all over the world have helped FPMT Mongolia reach remarkable milestones. These include: The construction of Idgaa Choizinling College The renovation of Dolma Ling Nunnery The translation of several Dharma books from Tibetan and English into Mongolian The broadcast of FM-radio Dharma programs The support of fully qualified Tibetan sangha who teach the Idgaa monks, the Dolma Ling nuns and the lay community

UN in Mongolia Mongolian culture Mongolian culture has many distinctive features. They are closely connected with the life style. From ancient times on, Mongolian have lived in the vast lands of Central Asia. Raising livestock and nomadic living patterns have found reflection in everyday thinking and the culture. One of the unique features of nomadic culture is that Mongolian people live in full harmony with Mother Nature. In comparison with settled peoples, the nomadic herders, face nature directly on a day in, day out basis. Through this, the herders, are involved in a multifaceted relationship with nature. This is why Mother Nature is the theme of many epics, blessings, and well-wishes. There are many traditions, customs, and teachings regarding the protection and care of mother nature. Tearing up flowers and grass, allowing filth into water systems, digging up and destroying land, killing of animals and destruction of forests are considered sins
