Jack and I had a wonderful time teaching other teachers at the Teacher’s Workshop in Chittagong. You can see from the pictures our excitement and enthusiasm. It was an honor to work with the teachers of Chittagong, Bangladesh and hope that we can grow our connections with their students and ours. After the 2-day conference, Jack and I went to Chittagong Steel Mills H.S. and met their headmaster and teachers. I would like to thank all of them for making us feel so welcomed. Then, we went to the beach and waded in the Bay of Bengal. It is amazing the amount of people that Jack and I can attract to us, but I love interacting with the children of Bangladesh and will never forget their smiles. On the train ride back to Dhaka, our train was delayed for 2 hours. During the lay over in Laskan Junction, Jack and I had the chance to teach children different types of fun games like thumb wrestling and rope tricks. It was such a wonderful time just to relax and interact with the village people of Bangladesh. Life in the villages is much simpler than the city, but the harvest and the thrashing of the rice was an incredible site to see from the train ride. I wish that we had to opportunity to visit some of those people. Well, we are back in the capital city of Dhaka and I am looking forward to another rickshaw ride. This time I will get some pictures.
It was a pleasure to see teacher, Mr. Abu Taher, from Chittagong Steel Mills HS in your pictures. He attended Youth Camp 2009 at Proshika and we spent many sessions discussing education. Inshallah, I hope that all is well with him.
