Bangladesh: Dinajpur

The team is up early again for our journey to our  distribution at Dinajpur. One of the smallest on our trip (420 bedkits).

We were elated that we would be able to stay two nights in one place tonight  after travelling and moving each day since we arrived.

At 11am while travelling  on the bus some of the team were musing that it was Rememberance Day although at home it was still Saturday night.

We arrived in the blistering midday sun, fortunately the children were mostly shaded under a canopy. We elected to start immediately to get the rest of the children shaded, although we had no alternative but to set up in the direct  sun we soon had the children moving

It was very hot but soon some of the team had the children clapping and cheering and playing catch with frisbees. During our distribution a cow wandered into our photo site, this seemed to relax the situation.

Tomorrow we plan to get an even earlier start (5:45) to get prepared for one of our largest distributions of over 1200 bedkits
