Bangladesh: Cox's Bazar

From Bangladesh 2010

Back in Dhaka

We are done: 6,000 bedkits handed out to 6,000 kids, travelling 3,600 km all over Bangladesh to touch every one of these children.

This last distribution in Cox’s Bazar was bittersweet. We are one tired team and glad it is successfully over but I with some of my teammates shed a tear when the last photo was taken and the last bedkit handed out – because it was over.

No more intense camaraderie as we caromed through every day on a bedkit mission; no more big, happy, noisy distribution crowds; and no more little private moments between you and one of the kids that sometimes made you feel like your heart would burst with happiness and then other times with sadness.

From Bangladesh 2010

What a roller coaster of exhilaration, exhaustion and fulfillment. We have tried to represent Sleeping Children, our donors and our country the best we could as we make the world better one child at a time.
