Mongolia Projects
Funding for these projects was mainly generated by Glenn Mullin from friends and students while on lecture tours in the US, Canada and Europe, as well as from grant applications submitted by Glenn. Any significant donation or grant was processed through either the Tibet Fund in NY (courtesy of the Tibet Fund Director, Mr. Rinchen Dharlo), or through the America Mongolia Friendship Society in Atlanta (courtesy of Society director Miss Tenzin Lhamo). The funding for three of the projects came from grants awarded by the Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation; the funding for one of the projects was awarded by the Canada Fund.

PLEASE NOTE: Below I list 21 projects that have been completed, and then 10 more that are in the works.
However, for the past year I have been most strongly involved in renovating the Nicholas Roerich house in Ulanbaatar, where this great Buddhist artist lived and painted during 1926 and 1927. Please see our website on this project: www.roerichmongolia.org. I have also posted numerous YouTube videos on developments. You can view these on one of our two YouTube channels:
