Second Time Around: LEAP Scholar returns to Mongolia with Pacific Angel exercise

Pacific Angel exercise planners gathered in front of a traditional Mongolian nomadic dwelling, known as a "ger", following a social event hosted by local nationals. The community expressed their gratitude for the healthcare assistance provided during the exercise. In accordance with Mongolian tradition, the locals demonstrated exceptional hospitality, welcoming the visitors into their homes and offering traditional amenities such as milk tea, meals, and shelter. This display of hospitality is a fundamental aspect of Mongolian culture, where visitors are treated with respect and kindness, often including strangers who are traveling through the area. The planners said they were honored to experience this unique aspect of Mongolian culture firsthand and appreciated the opportunity to engage with the local community and build relationships.
