Bangladesh: Team is collecting

From Bangladesh 2010
The Bangladesh Team 2010 is getting organized. Some have already left for Bangladesh and the rest will arrive Monday Oct 25th in Dhaka, a city of 15 million and the capital of Bangladesh with a population of 156 million. This is a country that is twice the size of New Brunswick with a population of greater than 1000 people per square kilometer. It is hard to imagine isn’t it living here in North America?

We have a great itinerary planned and it will take us to the four corners of the country with 6,000 bedkits distributed to 6,000 of the poorest kids in some areas Sleeping Children have never travelled to.

We will travel by most available conveyances: overnight steamer ferry, river paddleboat, bus, train, car, plane and rickshaw! – these are the ones we know!

The team is excited and challenged, but able, and thanks everyone involved in Sleeping Children Around the World for “helping the world, one child at a time.”

Stay tuned to our blog.
