I am a Junior Girl Scout leader and we are working on our Humans and Habitats badge and the Sign of the Rainbow award. I am planning to print the pictures to take to our next gathering.

Thank you for these photos. My office is working on a project for a solar home system for the rural population of Mongolia, to be used in these Gers. We now have a clear idea of the Ger's very simple assembly process. The Ger door is very unique. You really have to bow and step over the threshold.
