YARMAG, ULAANBATAR, Mongolia 14 February 2005 (BWNS) --The Baha'i
community of Mongolia is holding about 85 regular children's classes
throughout the country.

In such classes, children learn songs, stories, and quotations that
teach them spiritual and moral values.

The classes are part of a curriculum developed by the Ruhi Institute, a
Baha'i educational institution in Colombia, that also acquaints the
pupils with the history and principles of the Baha'i Faith.

Children's class teacher Uyangantsengel Dashtend, a designer by
profession, holds classes for two groups of children three times a week.

"Children are our future," Ms. Dashtend said. "If we work with them, we
will be guaranteeing the world we wish to help to build."
