[volunteers needed from 07/23]

My name is Tugsuu. I am an English guide and English teacher in the Khuvsgul province of Mongolia. I live with my husband and our two children and run a tourist info center in Murun, a charming little mountain town in the north of Mongolia. We organize tours around the north of Mongolia for tourists from all over the world. I also run a small English school, and I am looking for volunteers or foreign students.

Additionally I have just opened a guesthouse (four small cottages outside of our own home), and I would like to build a greenhouse as well. We would like volunteers to help with construction and decorating.

Alojamiento
If you stay short term, you will live in a wooden house next to ours on the property. If you will stay long term ,2 - 3 months, then we can build a traditional Mongolian "ger" for you. We will provide you with wood for heating your cabin, food and electricity. Please note, that we live a very simple, rural and real Mongolian life, far away from the comfort zone you are probably used to. You will learn how to heat a wood stove with fire and keep your room warm. We have recently installed a hot shower and toilet in a hut outside of the main house to be used. We also have wifi you can use (in the main house).
Algo más...
The tsaatans people live close to my place and we can organize a trip as an incentive to see the last of the amazing reindeer people and the beautiful white lake. It takes 6 days and we offer you for a lower price.
I will explain to you how to get to Murun from Ulaanbaatar. It takes around 12 hours by bus. I will pick you up from the bus station in Murun.

Hello People!
I visited Murun in September, and it was great to meet such a kind and helpful people
Tugsuu is amazing person, she helped me with my travelling, with thousand things, even gave me a tent. she was worried about me and I loved staying with her family and helped her
Teaching children was like a game, every day I made up something new.… read more

I had an amazing time in Murun in October. The work is fairly easy, but the hours are from 11 to 4 with an hour break for lunch. Teaching the kids is relatively easy, they happily try to speak English if you make it a game and take away points for speaking English. They already have English classes, so most of my time was spent just playing games… read more

Hello.
Our stay was only 4/5 days so not so long.

We were 2, joining 2 others volunteers we didnt know, already here for 2 weeks approx. We wanted to be in the "decoration team" and we understood that a teacher was needed on 2 days. So we accepted to be teacher these 2 days.

During our stay, we didn't speak so much with the family. Tsuguu just… read more exchanged some words about what we did while she brought the 'meal'. So communication was not good, not bad, just was not. Apparently she changed mind cause she was not like that before we arrived, told us the 2 volunteers who were already here.

About the food : meals were really the simplest things we've experienced during our 2 months travelling through Mongolia (and we know they're not well known for their cooking). It was necessary to buy cookies aside cause it was really not enough. Once we had, between 2 english lessons, 1 sliced bread with 1 egg and 1 little slice of ham on it. That's it.

About the missions : decoration was completely Ok, we did what we wanted to do : wooden signs. But about english teaching it's another case : we know how to speak english as travelers do, but to teach it, to know rules, it's completely different. As we understood children have to pay for these lessons. It's hard to think that, we, as volunteers, gave kinda english lessons (we're not pro), with no regularity in the lesson (i think they did weather/body lessons many times ....), and they paid for that. Furthermore, the level is completely different in one team : for example, in the 2nd group we had, one kid was reading harry potter without difficulties (and asking grammatical question we couldn't answer), and another kid didn't know what "sun" means. And of course we didn't know their level before we met them!

Others things : if not enough tourists in the camp, she'll probably ask you to not work for 1 day, and pay as a tourist for your bed. Understand, it's for the guesthouse survival.
If you have to go to the airport or the bus station, her husband will bring you. It has a cost of course. Like everything there (shower, and things that the bar sells : so we bought our own coffee, tea, juice).

I will finish on this : comparison with the others volunteers she had. At the end she told us that we did good, we're not lazy like some of the volunteers she had.. We really don't like that, to be compared with others volunteers, and she put us in an uncomfortable situation.

Actually we had great time with kids, they are motivated to learn english and we were even a bit sad to let them after few days. But we don't recommand this workaway if you want to discover mongolian culture. We red the other comments on this workaway and most of them are really good. So maybe we were just unlucky, maybe it was not a good moment for her. We don't know, we just wanted to share our feeling.

I stayed for two and a half weeks at one of Tugsu´s wooden cabines and worked 6 days a week in her Englisch school. The work amount always depends on how many students there are. In the time of my stay there were 3 groups, one at 11 am, one at 2 pm and one at 6 pm, each course was 1.5 hours. The students have been really nice and open minded and… read more

The Time In Murun was just a unique experience. I lived together with a mongolian family. Therefore I worked in Tugsuu's language club. Which was first a challenging for me as I am not native speaker. And teaching grammer was not a good thing for me to teach. But still you will find a way to teach there :-) So and then I worked 4 h a day in a… read more
