Classmates in Costume

The kids got a day off school for celebrating Lunar New year.
Here they are in costumer and apparently intense conversation.

Clara Jemimah

Clara enjoys helping mommy with baking.

Her middle name really is Jem, but I couldn't resist the cultural reference.

Lunar New Year 2012

This is the first of many families we visited to join celebrations of Lunar New Year 2012.

The mutton meat and dumplings copiously flowed over this intricately decorated table.

The kids enjoyed dressing up in the traditional Mongolian dress.

The man in the picture works at the project center.

And the lady in the middle is a leader in the church.
