Bangladesh

Some sights and sounds from my recent trip.

Six days is not a very long time to see a new country and culture but we experienced a lot in those 6 days. Many children in rural villages learning to read and write. Many women in these same villages learning to read and write. Crowded streets... they say that you can never be alone in Bangladesh. Beauty amongst the dirt and pollution.

 

learning to write numbers in English and Bengali. 

 

some of the amazing staff who work in the rural areas of Bangladesh to help the people. 

 

A building project....hundreds of bamboo pieces holding up the recently poured roof

 Rice fields as far as the eye can see... in the rural areas of northern Bangladesh

Fresh green coconut juice anyone?

The ever crowded and busy streets of urban Bangladesh

Nicole and I in our traditional clothing with some new dear sisters in the Lord.

The most stunning flowers I have ever seen. I was mesmerized by the detail of these!

Some rural women learning to read and write... and because we were there... the whole village came to see. For many of the villages...we were the first foreigners they had ever seen!
