Baaska


My friend Martina has been traveling to Mongolia to help out the street kids there. She has set up a foundation called Children of the Blue Sky. The child that started it all is this young man Baaska. And it looks like he's grown from a cherubic youngster into a fine young man. He's going off to the mines to operate some trucking equipment. It's far away and no one is very happy about his absence from the city but it's what he wants to do and because of Martina's work, it's what he's trained to do. She's giving these kids a place to live, an education and vocational training to help them off the streets and into jobs.
