In September, Holt President and CEO Phil Littleton spent two weeks visiting Holt projects in China and Mongolia. "The work we are doing exceeded my expectations," Phil said. "It was extraordinary."  

MONGOLIA:

Below Phil visits the Rainbow Special Baby Care Unit within a state-run infant and toddler orphanage in Mongolia's capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Holt established ties with the orphanage in 1999. At this special baby care unit, Holt provides at-risk infants and toddlers with the proper nutrition, medical care and nurture they need to thrive.

"When Holt arrived in Mongolia almost two decades ago, the orphanage was rather bleak," Phil says. "Today, the center in Ulaanbaatar is a well-run, warm place for babies to come and be nursed back to health and receive proper nutrition and care."
