FROM THE CABIN OF THE GIANT MINING DUMP TRUCK TO THE AUSTRALIAN MINE

The road to success is not always easy. To overcome many obstacles with a strong soul and the power of aspiration, and also to achieve your goal without giving up... There are many women who have achieved success, following precisely this principle. The magazine “Mongolian Women” provides readers women’s success story of various industries. In this issue of the magazine, we present to you a young, purposeful, energetic and optimistic woman Mrs. Enkh-Amar T., who at 20 began her career in the largest mine in Mongolia and has been working continuously in this mine for three years.

She lives in Khanbogd soum of the South Gobi aimag with her son and works as an operator of 250 tons heavy equipment.

She entered the six-month course announced by Oyu Tolgoi, and then passed an interview. Thus, she had the opportunity to contribute to the development of the mining industry.

Mining dump truck is a giant technique with a powerful sound. And then a young woman skillfully leads him. And it is hard to believe that a woman drives this gigantic technique and carries hundreds of tons of load.

She says: “The diameter of the dump truck wheels is more than three meters. Although it looks gigantic, but when I sit in its cabin, I feel as if I drive a car. And so, is a convenient vehicle"

She also added: “Compared to my peers, I did not graduate from a professional university. But I am proud of my excellent work. Our organization perfectly provides labor protection. Every morning we are given instructions for safe work and also ask if we slept well. If we didn’t get enough sleep, we are assigned to easier work. There is no clear daily standard, which we have to fulfill".

Oyu Tolgoi Company pays great attention to the protection of the rights and safety of its employees, especially women. Disrespect for women, the use of obscene expressions in the workplace is strictly prohibited. She also noted that women are respected in the workplace and are not allowed to work in difficult conditions.

Mrs. Enkh-Amar T. is not only an advanced specialist, but also she is an enterprising and creative person. She loves Mongolian livelihood and lives in a Mongolian yurt. And by this she confirms that it is possible to live in a yurt warmly and comfortably, as in an apartment. Thanks to the floor heating system, the winter in the yurt is quite warm.

Although this hardworking woman had a dissolute husband, her life was "rewarded" by her son. After graduating from high school, she enrolled at the “Gazarchin” Institute and met her future husband. Due to the fact that she had the noble honor of becoming MOTHER and WIFE, she left the institute. Life is not a bed of roses. Once her husband left her. But she did not become sad and sit back. And today she says: "I will improve my English and I will drive a mining truck in Australia, in the best mines in the world"...

A simple Mongolian woman who set herself a big goal opened her heart and said: “I used to consult with my husband. After parting with him in the first moments, it was very difficult for me. Almost every day I cried. I tried very hard to save our family. Then, having seen my son, I made up my mind. I set a goal for myself and began to try to be creative and positive every day. My son first asked me about his father. And now he asks his grandmother. Probably, he thinks he will hurt me. Thanks to him, I had the honor of becoming a mother, and a goal appeared for the sake of my son to live vigorously, to be a strong woman.

In Mongolia, the number of single mothers is increasing every year. I am one of them. There are many reasons for family divorce, but I believe that the most common of this happens because couples do not listen to each other. I see that the husbands do not have enough patience, courage, responsibility for his wife and children. Therefore, I try to grow my son patient. Especially, I explain well to him that one cannot start a family based only on emotions. Young people, especially young girls, due to an emotional outburst at an early age are getting married and closing many opportunities in front of them. Instead of learning, developing themselves, and building a professional career, they spend this time with family and children. I understood from my mistakes, and I want to tell the girls that before starting a life together, you need to think once again, whether the person you chose as your life partner can live for you throughout your life and not change you on anything and anyone".

Light, dark, shady, sunny... Life has many shades.

How many days it will be sunny - this is just the choice of each person. There are dark days. But success comes to those who can fight and overcome these dark days. Therefore, dear belligerent and courageous women, let us fight to achieve our goals.

The sun sets, but it will rise again!
