Heavy rains have been beating down in Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar, causing the waters of the Selbe and Tuul rivers to rise and overflow. The entire population in Ulaanbaatar has been affected with tens of thousands reporting damage to their homes and over 20,000 moved to safe ground where they are receiving humanitarian aid. The government has declared a state of high alert in Ulaanbaatar, as more rains are expected, which experts describe as “the heaviest in the last 50 years”.
On 7th August 2023, Children’s Hope Mongolia in collaboration with The Teddy Trust UK has distributed Teddy Bears to the children affected by this tragedy in Shanty Town known as Ger District here in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We at Children’s Hope Mongolia and The Teddy Trust believe that it will give a little comfort to children during this challenging times as well as it is a friend to talk to and cuddle in the darkest moments.
Sending our LOVE & APPRECIATION to Ellie and June at The Teddy Trust UK.
