Peace Corps Volunteer Cara Eandi makes tea in the morning in her Ger in the Mongolian community of Zuunmod in the Central Province. The ger is a traditional Mongolian shlter that is called a yurt in the United States. Gers are circular, made of felt fabric, and typically have a wood stove in the center. Since Mongolians traditionally lived nomadic linves, gers were designed to be easily disassembled and moved to a new location. Photo by Richard Sitler
