Reflections - Judy Barlow

This trip was wonderful. It was well organised, the team functioned smoothly and we all enjoyed each others company very much.

The experiences of Bangladesh life was a constant source of awe to us all everywhere we went. The only thing I wont miss is the car horns blowing all the time!!!

One of the most beautiful things for me was how every parent showed so much love towards their child. They could give them so little else. Also, how quiet and still the people always seemed to be, mothers with their babies, husbands just sitting waiting, visistors etc with endless patience and so grateful for any kindness shown to them. It was a very humbling experience for me to have so much and be there to see these people with little and having to work so hard yet be contented. The beautiful smiles and their laughter when we tried to speak in Bangali. It was a pleasure and I hope I can go on doing something as memeorable. Jude
