Bangladesh: Sree Nagar Distribution

Day 12: Dhaka

A second day of rain and cool temperatures!

The team had an early start this morning at 7:00 AM for the distribution of 500 Bedkits in Sree Nagar. The journey took us along some extremely narrow roads with steep slopes and water on both sides. There were some challenging times when our minivan had to share the single-lane road with big buses. The temperature was 22 degrees Celsius and we were not prepared to have a morning swim. Thankfully, we arrived safely in Sree Nagar at 8:30 AM.

It was raining heavily, but the team-spirit was high. The distribution had to be done indoors, and the designated room was quite dark. However, the team attended to the tasks at hand and, before long, the room was set up to photograph the children and the camera was poised, ready to go!

The rain was not a show-stopper for the children. They all looked very spiffy in their new outfit, (part of the content of their bedkit), as they waited patiently to have their pictures taken and to receive their bedkit. Their smiles were like rainbows. Thanks to the donors.

Lots of puddles on our way home, but we made it safely back to the hotel, after a lengthy detour for a bit of shopping. Kudos to the guys for their patience, and valuable comments.

We had much laughter and fun today, and look forward to tomorrow.
