Mongolia - A new kid in our house


A new entrant has been added to our kid's house: Erdenbatgal, 16 years old. He comes from a little town, 500 kilometer away from Ulaa Baatar. We met him there during a conference.

Erdenbatgal has been living on the streets for two years when he scorched his face awfully with hot water while sleeping in the central heating pipe system. Now, a year later, his wounds are still ulcerous and badly swollen.

He ran away from the first hospital, where he received skin grafting. We found another hospital which is willing to treat him. We really need to find a good place for surgery in order to see his deformed face restored to its health. During the phases without treatment we will take care of him in our kid's house.
