Our history

In 1998, Corry Vreugdenhil went to Mongolia for the first time to volunteer for various organizations. She worked in education in the Netherlands and took a few months of unpaid leave every year.

Corry zag de grote nood in Mongolië. Er zijn heel veel straatkinderen die moeten overleven in de winterse temperaturen van min 30 of min 40 graden. Dit doen ze in de tunnels in de stad waar de warm water buizen door There are also many children in state orphanages in Mongolia.

 

Nadat Corry in 1999 weer naar Mongolië was gegaan heeft ze bij terugkeer de Stichting Asian Foundation opgericht. Het doel van de Asian Foundation is om meer structurele hulp te kunnen bieden. In 2001 there were enough sponsors to buy a first apartment. And now Asian Foundation already owns 5 family homes.

 

Corry ging in 2002 in Nederland met de VUT en zodoende kon ze meer tijd naar Mongolië gaan om daar alles te organiseren. Inmiddels neemt Hongoroo, de Mongoolse directeur, al veel taken van haar .
Hongoroo came into the organization as a little girl with her brother and sister because they were orphans. Hongoroo later studied law and after her studies she came to work in the organization as a manager.
