First visit to the slum school where the parenting program will be run. Children came from everywhere all wanting to shake our hand, know our names, and have their photos taken. We are such a novelty to them.

Building work next to Curzon Hall. Note the bamboo used as scaffolding and building props. This is commonly seen throughout Dhaka, even in concrete highrise buildings.
Everyone is interested in us as Westerners are infrequent visitors to Dhaka. They are all very thrilled when we want to take their photos and they often want to take ours.
