Dear So and So

[bmccasland]

Thanks SheFly,
the content isn't the issue; it's these kinds of questions:

How have you translated professional opportunities, classes, or
life experiences into your work?

How do you think this experience will benefit your personal life, professional life and your community?

Not that it'll help - but the fact that you need a vacation, and have your mind ponder other things other than balancing a ill hubby, hospitals, doctors, and keep your own home in some semblance of order?

Back on your task - is there a link to information about the trip (goals) that could give us a hint on how to help you? Is this some grand social experiment? What makes delving into this area different that say, visiting villagers in Africa, Central or South America, or First Nations people in northern Canada/Alaska? Other than to us, Mongolia is about as far removed from anything.

Ecology and Civic media are two completely different subjects IMHO. I can grasp Ecology of the area and livestock management, as well as throwing in a predator. But Civic media???
