Dear Michael, so glad to see the team all arrived safely. Hope everyone had a good night's sleep and you are ready to begin your good work for the children of Bangladesh. Anxiously awaiting your blogs and pictures. Love from Brantford.
Hello Bangladesh Teams - Please say hi to Masud and the Rotarians from me. Also hello to the Hadi's. Mrs. Hadi will be interested to know that one of my daughters is in fashion design school (Mrs. Hadi's occupation).
Enjoy the wonderful people of Bangladesh. They're very special!

Glad to see that everyone landed safely and look not too worse for the wear (it IS a long trip). Enjoy your first distribution, have fun with the kids and know that we are proud of the work you are doing. Also enjoy the heat and the food- we are missing the South Asian heat (and food) in chilly Ottawa! love Gail, Hannah and Evie in Ottawa (Eileen and John's daughter and grand daughters). ps, don't forget your mozzie spray every day! We don't want the third case of Dengue in the family.
Hi all in Bangladesh! We have such wonderful memories of our 2007 distribution in that wonderful country with such great hosts...the Rotarians and the Hadi family. Say hi from our Grandson Arrius who is in the U.S. and us...Roberta and Don Harris. We miss them all. It will be super to watch your travels as you give to all those needy, beautiful children.
Joan, Richard & Teams:

Great photo of the two special teams. So happy Mike remembered to tuck in his beige pouch! Keep well!
Hi Doug;
Sounds like you are off and running with the distributions. A busy week ahead for all of you but so worthwhile. Nice that the Beacon Herald ran the story promoting this good work.
Take care and we will continue to follow your travels.

Hi Uncle Mike: It is amazing and incredible to see what you and the others are doing there. I am reading the emails to Brendan and Courtney every day. It is so hard for them to fathom what it would be like to live how these people do. Take care and it sounds like you are safe! LOL! You know me, I worry.... Love The Townsons
Hi Mike....Don and I are enjoying reading your e-mails. It all sounds quite amazing and hard for us to understand their way of life. Take care and stay safe....Love Don and Donna
Mike, great pics , really like the pic of you looking like you are a Brantford Biker. Dana and I hope the rest of the trip is as wonderful as the first half.
Hi Sue & team..Wow, thank you so much for the pics and keeping us informed of what you are doing in Bangladesh. I am so moved and touched by this. This is such a selfless act of love. We are praying for you Sue and the team. May God's richest blessing be upon you, the team and the people of Bangladesh. Love The Hislop's
Hi Michael and team,
Thanks for the great updates. I can almost taste the mutton brain... mmmm mmmm
Sounds like a good time is being had by all- SCAW, Rotary, and the lucky recipients. I can't imagine my students travelling 5hrs each way to get a bedkit. Wow- what a story. We are sending our love and best wishes to everyone from this end. Take care of each other and keep up the good work.
Heather
Hi Mike,
Happy to hear things are going well and that you're having fun. Sounds like you are learning/experiencing a lot and it's great that you're able to help the people of Bangladesh. Love the pictures! Wonderful to see because it gives us a better idea of what it is like there. The rickshaws look like a lot of fun.
Lots of love from Kitchener,
Ryan and Starla
Greetings Bangladesh teams

Keep well and safe.

Hey Doug, same advice as last year...don't give up your day job to become a rickshaw driver!
Both teams, great photos and updates.

Hi Richard, Joan and Team Members
Glad to follow your activities on the web site, documenting doing what you love to do for SCAW. We had a gorgeous fall day here in Ontario even saw a beautiful male deer about 6 pm in the meadow. May God grant you the strength to do your work and many happy memories to share with all.

Just finished looking at the photos to date and it looks like the bubbles were sure a hit; what a great idea! One of your blog entries mentioned trying some hot, spicy food. Mike, is it hot enough for your taste buds?
I send you my wishes for continued success and a safe return.

Glad to hear your work is going so well. The slide show is fabulous and really captures what a distribution is really all about - the children! SCAW and its supporters never have to wonder why we do this.

To both teams in Bangladesh:
Congratulations on completing your good work. Job well done! Thank you for the daily blogs and pictures. We must all be a little more thankful for what we have. Relax now and safe trip home.
Hi Doug and Team......great job....safe trip home.
Doug & Team: Another day, another adventure. Our experiences and lessons are the greatest joys of life.
Blessings on all of you.

Well done Teams Bangladesh..... it was FUN reading all your messages. I understand the excitement of reaching out to these children. The children exhibit true appreciation. A heart warming experience for all.
John and Eileen (and the rest of the SCAW team): We enjoyed following your trip and the fun times you had with your new Bangladeshi friends, especially the children. The photographs are very beautiful and captured the special moments so well. Time for everyone to rest now (5000 more comfortably!). Thanks for sharing your days with us, see you soon.
Nancy and family (John and Eileen's daughter).
Hi Eileen and John, I love the slide show, really memorable pictures. Look at all those smiles. Looking forward to our pot luck Eileen, I know you'll have some amazing stories to tell us. Best regards to you all. Ruth Dwyer
