Debiganj and Rangpur are two brand new distribution sites that SCAW has never visited before. While travelling for two hours the team was introduced to the Bangladeshi “Gamcha” a head scarf or their local towel.
When we arrived in Debiganj, we were welcomed by 300 wonderful smiles, loud clapping and singing children. We listened to a passionate rendition of a student singing “We Shall Overcome” and then we both shared our national anthems. The SCAW team was given the opportunity to plant two Banyan trees to commemorate their visit. These trees will provide future shade for the 100-year-old school’s courtyard.

After a light thank you lunch we were on our way again for another two-hour trip to reach our next distribution of 360 bedkits in Rangpur.
This distribution took place in an old rice factory which provided us with a real natural setting for the photos. The happy smiling children and their parents were most appreciative of bedkits that had been kindly donated by all the SCAW donors.
A Big Thank You to all our donors! The team is looking forward to another wonderful day of fun and excitement tomorrow.
