Bangladesh, 2019: Thursday, Planning Ahead


Today was a non-distribution day, but the SKD team wanted a good sense of our next site where we would be handing out 1300 bedkits. We drove the three plus hours and ferried across two rivers to reach our destination.


Some families live all their lives on boats such as this, traversing the many waterways of this country.



This is the classroom that will become one of the changing rooms for the children.




Three "mature students" are part of the team assessing the site facilities.




The photo below is of one of the many unheralded workers hauling sand to fill in the wet spots of the site.




Village children are always curious when visitors arrive on their doorstep!




The passenger ferry crossing the first river; the larger ferry for trucks, buses, and cars followed shortly afterward.
