On Saturday, Ulaanhus soum`s annual Green project contest took place again. Several community members gathered to have a look at the several green projects of 25 community gardeners and 6 organizations in the villages of Ulaanhus soum.  Among the supporters of the green projects in this region are our NGO and ADRA NGO.

 

 
   

After viewing all the gardens and vegetable exhibits in the ceremony hall, the awards were distributed.

 The weather is cooling down, especially in the areas located on a higher altitude in the Altai mountains. (1In UB, there even fell a tiny bit of snow already.)

That`s why the school, kindergarten and clinic of Sagsai and Dayan (1the coldest areas where we are running green projects) harvested their vegetables. There are loads of cucumbers, potatoes, carrots and turnips for the coming education year – altogether they harvested 7 tons of vegetables!!!
