Women's Day in Two Acts

Posted by Ember Mumaw, Intern

Act One. Location: Ulan orphanage.Cast: Female staff
With food, music, games, and dancing, the Ulan orphanage staff celebrated Women’s Day. Interlink Director, Beth Turnock, attended to give a small speech of encouragement to the women and hand out gift certificates to thank them for their service to the children. Beth said she certainly had fun participating in singing games and other competitions!

Act Two. Location: Ulan orphanage. Cast: The children
The children had a party of their own that Interlink was not able to attend. Instead, Ember, Kiizhan, and Moldir were able to go room to room delivering words of encouragement and small gifts (nail polish) to each girl. In the smallest group we also gave out Kinder eggs which are chocolate eggs enclosing a toy. The children were happy to celebrate and thankful to have been remembered by their American friends.
