Dear Friends,
It's Christmas in July!
Last year, along with our partners, we were able to purchase 1200 Winter Kits for at-risk Mongolian children between the ages of 6 and 14. Because of your generosity, Asian Outreach North America was able to contribute 200 kits! The children who received these kits would otherwise have fallen behind in their education, as they were not equipped to travel to school when temperatures dropped as low as -40°C.
This year, we are hoping to reach the same goal of 200 kits! Would you like to help us out? A single kit costs only $100 CAD and includes: a hat, a pair of gloves, a scarf, thermal underwear, a thick jacket, socks, and a warm pair of boots.
Click the photo link above to watch a video from last year's distribution! This footage was filmed in the town of Bulgan in October of 2023.
For those new here, it's important that we begin our fundraising for this initiative early in the year. This way, our team in Mongolia has sufficient time to source out, purchase, and distribute the gear before the frost hits. Even a few missed days of school can have a negative impact on a child's education.

Warmest blessings,
