Bangladesh: Wrap-up

Dhaka: The Last Day

Up at 5 AM today to get the 24 hour check-in and seat selection for our 5 AM flight early Saturday morning. Looking forward to a flight of 18+ hours is a good motivator to try to get good seats! Unfortunately, the Internet in Dhaka ground to a halt and it took two hours to get our boarding passes.

Then an early morning walk in the "park," breakfast, packing, reports, picture organization, and a wrap-up meeting with Mr Hadi before a culinary delight this evening at the Hadi's home.

We dressed for the occasion in our new finery with the ladies in saris and the men in white Punjabi suits. Very spiffy. Check out the photo. We think an appropriate team name is Sari Sisters and the Men in White. What do you think?

Our job is done and this was a very successful distribution thanks to the exemplary leadership of Richard and Joan Hryniw and a cohesive and enthusiastic team.

Thank you donors and volunteers for your ongoing support of Sleeping Children. Eight thousand kids have big smiles thanks to you.
