4x4 Travel - Le Mongolfrench

Project: education and help for Mongolia

 

These 22-year-old students decided to travel from Paris to Ulaan-Bator (Mongolia) in a Lada Niva, to deliver donations and help build a school.

This beautiful humanitarian project will also be a unique adventure.

In the footsteps of Guy de Larigaudie (former scout, writer, explorer and journalist) and faithful to their Scout spirit, Francois and Louis-Marie are devoted to helping children in Mongolia .

From April to May 2017, adventure and solidarity!

They're on their way!

Why Mongolia?

"Because this democratic country, which has lived under Chinese then Russian rule, deserves help.

Because Mongolia is far from us and aid is scarce."

Its with the association EDUCATE that they will be able to carry out their project of building a yurt.

The idea is to raise funds to build the new school, and collect material which they will transport to the Ulaan Am school.

Once there, with the donations, they will buy materials for the schools.

As they are students at the School of Public Works, their knowledge will allow them to lend a hand.
