October 30, 2003; 3 p.m. Fraternite Notre Dame inaugurates a village of yurts for poor families, called Nazareth Village, in Bayanzurth District.

For the installation, Fraternite Notre Dame's Founder and Superior General, the Most Reverend Bishop Jean Marie Roger Kozik, initiator of this magnificent project, has come to Mongolia to watch the implementation of the village and proceed with its inauguration, in the presence of Ulan Bator Vice-Mayor, Bayanzurth Governor, the Consul General of Switzerland, Mr. Marcus Dubach, French Ambassador Mr. Nicolas Chapuis and representatives from the American Embassy -Mrs. The Ambassador being scheduled for a trip- along with the priests from the cathedral, standing for the Most Reverend Bishop, and the Community of Mother Theresa' Sisters; also came the Great Lama representative of the Buddhist.

The Village, managed by Fraternite Notre Dame, is expected to count 60 yurts, and has been designed to welcome and help needy families in their daily life and work, with a planned school and workshops on the grounds.

Such a great enterprise required important works to supply potable water and proper sanitation, which all prominent figures and every person present at the ceremony were able to admire on the spot, guided by Most Reverend Bishop Jean Marie Roger Kozik.

We want all families in the village to be able to live at peace and in perfect harmony, without any alcohol problem, and that each family enjoy worthy and respectable living conditions.
