A Message from Lynn Marks:
February 2022, we were at a convention for our endurance organization. We saw a booth for a trek in Mongolia and we bought three tickets for a 50% off trek with The Blue Wolf Totem. The next day we found out that we won! When talking to Tom about this we decided to make this a trip last longer than two weeks, we made it a full month and more with the Veloo Foundation for July 2023. We wanted to understand the people, horses, and the culture. Julie showed us all sides of this country and its struggles.
Many of the nomadic people were losing their livelihood out on the Steppe due to something they don’t have control over, weather. This last winter it was -41 degrees and took the lives of 750,000 animals and at the same time taking away the traditional herding life from many families. This isn’t the first year this has happened. It is happening more frequently and creating more loss of livelihood. We are excited to support this Non-profit organization, the Veloo Foundation. First, one-hundred-percent, all, every last dollar, of your donation goes directly to children and families relying on the Veloo Foundation. The Veloo Foundation founders cover all operating expenses themselves making this a very special place.
In 2013 the Veloo Foundation created a way for these families and children to find a new existence. Rather than scavenging for food and items in the dump and being lost in a “new culture” she established, and manages, Narnii Huuhduud Kindergarten (Children of the Peak Sanctuary) 1&2, Soaring Crane Summer Camp and the Gandys Community Library for the Ulaanchuluut community.

The reason why this ride matters!
Seeing these children safe and warm at the Children of the Peak Sanctuary is what motivates me. Thank you for helping me help them!
