Ouyunbat, Mongolia
People of the Western Pacific
"I am turning seventy now.
Herding is a good job, but now that I am getting older, it is getting harder for me.
My back hurts when I walk, and I can’t lift the milk. But it is not that serious or unbearable.
It is the natural ageing process. What can we do about it?
I don’t have any terminal or chronic diseases. I think that I am alright."
"Herding is a good job, but now that I am getting older, it is getting harder for me."
With many thanks to Ouyunbat for sharing her story.
