Charity Dinner

Last night Habitat For Humanity Mongolia hosted a Charity Dinner to celebrate women in honor of International Women's Day and to raise funds and awareness for our upcoming Blue Sky Build 2012 event (can you tell I've had to type that a lot lately?). It was a little bit stressful leading up to the even because we were struggling to get more people to attend, but I wasn't the one in charge, so I wasn't really worried. The event ended up being better than I expected. I had to co-host it with another girl from Habitat. We had lots of entertainment and people really seemed to enjoy themselves.

                                   The following pictures are from my camera and from Ken who was our official photographer for the event:

One of the home partners who will be receiving a house in the BSB 2012 said a few words.

The US Ambassador and his wife participating in one of the activities, 'Buy a Brick, Build a House;' this was one of the most popular activities of the evening.

'Who's the best Nailer' was a competition where 6 female participants had to hammer 3 nails into a block of wood.

The two winners of the competition, including my friend Flower (left) from church (she was there because the travel company she works for organizes tours for Habitat volunteer groups a lot).

The evening was a little stressful but fun because I get to work with awesome people.
