In October 1999 Robin went
to UlaanBaatar with a small team from a local group, the Mongolian Orphans
Association. Robin, 17, was the youngest member of this humanitarian
effort. They distributed 6 tons of used clothing, donated by the
community of Flagstaff, to needy families and children in and around the
capital city of Mongolia. MOA was founded by David Edwards, an award
winning National Geographic photographer, who began taking clothes to orphan
children in UB when he went there on assignments. Life changing to
all involved, this trip was one of the highlights of Robin's senior year.
