Ganzorig Tsend from the Rotary Club of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia visited our club on Wednesday night. Ganzorig explained this was his first visit to Australia.  He was here on business and works for a mining company managed by Rio Tinto.
 
Ganzorig joined Rotaract in 2002 and Rotary in 2008.  His home club, The Rotary Club of Ulaanbaatar is an English speaking club.  In 2012/13 he was club President. There are 14 clubs in Mongolia.  Ganzorig said the support from Australia to Mongolia was significant and there are a number of young Mongolians in Australia on scholarship programs.
 
Ganzorig told us the 1st project he was involved in with Rotary was to send a girl with heart problems to Australia for surgery.  This was the catalyst for starting the Catheter lab project.
