While volunteering for Christina Noble’s Children Foundation for a couple of weeks in Ulaanbaatar, one of my tasks was to create a sunshade over the sports court which acts as the performance space for the summer talent show. Planning, sourcing and executing the project was a three day effort and despite language barriers, came together fairly well. The first day of making the thing, me and one other guy (who we could not speak a single word to each other) were hit with an epic front of rain and wind. We caught the flow of getting things tied back and the second day we were gifted with sunshine and easy sailing. The day of the talent show, about 8 of us all took a rope and hoisted the canopy into the air. Success! Now for the real show as the children take the stage.
