You Don't Need Sight...
to Have Incredible Vision
​
​
This month, I interviewed Uyanga Erdenebold.
Uyanga is a wife, mother, public affairs specialist...and the first BLIND person in Mongolia to receive a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the United States.
​
While the scholarship is alone impressive, at the conclusion of her studies, Uyanga returned to Mongolia with a guide dog - the gorgeous Gladys - at her side. Gladys was the first guide dog Mongolians had ever seen...and they had no idea what to think of her.
​
This is your chance to hear an incredibly inspiring and empowering story of how one person overcame a myriad of life obstacles...and subsequently leveraged those experiences and the connections she made along the way to both facilitate the drafting and passage of the first ever rights-based legislation for disabled people in Mongolia and plant the seeds for the establishment of the first guide dog training school in Mongolia.
