A beginning of the cooperation between YMCA Brisbane and YMCA Mongolia
Last Updated (Monday, 03 October 2022 12:19)
In September, the president of YMCA Mongolia visited the Australian YMCA camp in Brisbane. The work and activities that YMCA Brisbane does at their camp are fascinating. School kids spend three days in the Survival program to develop their life skills and capabilities.
One of the most notable things was that the camp facility was built by a strong, passionate yet professional Y Board, staff members and volunteers and their governance and operating system were significantly strong and healthy.

YMCA Mongolia “Green Heroes” project
Last Updated (Monday, 03 October 2022 12:20)
YMCA Mongolia has been organizing environmental projects these past few years. Recently, YMCA Mongolia has been organizing activities against desertification and climate change as part of Green Heroes, an environmental project. In the framework of the project, activities such as sewing cotton bags, planting trees, and training on climate change are being organized.
On September 25, YMCA Mongolia planted around 100 trees in the Green Asia NGO in the Central Province area as part of the “Green Heroes” project. It was a memorable time for us to be close to nature and take action together against climate change.
We watered more than 100 trees. This was more significant to the participants because it also gave us a chance to water the previously planted trees. Our priority is to be part of the green actions with our youths.
