The celebration in August 2025 for SI Darkhan’s 25th Anniversary, in conjunction with the celebration of SI Ulaanbaatar‘s 20th Anniversary, was an amazing experience for 7 sisters from SI Bangsar. Our friendship link with SI Darkhan manifested into reality and we made new friendships with members from other Clubs more than we ever expected.
After having “met “ each other online, it was a joyous union to meet each other in person. The effective use of digital communications via zoom calls, Whatsapp and emails has really brought clubs closer to each other .
Seeing the Mongolian club projects with single mothers – procuring land rights from the authorities, acquiring “gers’ for housing of needy families, reforestation of land laid barren by mining , partnering with giant corporations was a true eye-opener.
We shared the home of our SI Darkhan sisters and even did the city walkabout at UB. The cultural experience was so enriching, especially watching the dances which had ballet elements, the music that sounded like a horse neighing or galloping, the operatic voice that astounded everyone at dinner, the throat singing by a female member that was unique to Mongolia.
