<p>In visible proximity, this young resident of Sary-Mogol ventures his first steps outside the protective warmth of home. The village sits close to the border with Tajikistan at an elevation of almost 3000m. Therefore, it&#8217;s not uncommon that temperatures drop below zero even in the middle of summer.
