In case anyone ever wonders where you served in the Peace Corps, where you earned all these incredible badges, where you spent 27 (or more) months of your life - this way they will know. It was Mongolia. Say it with pride. Say it in Mongolian. Tell them about living in a ger, fetching water, writing grants, surviving winter and everything else, but more importantly tell them about the people, your friends, your colleagues and who you are now because of living in this incredible country. Sain bain Amerik, sain bain.

Each Mongolia badge is hand-sewn by our friend Tseesuren from home-pressed traditional Mongolian felt, the same kind that has lined the inside of gers in Mongolia to keep them warm for generations.
