How wonderful that your daughter is working in Bangladesh – it sounds like she is doing fantastic and rewarding work. You’re right, sanitation conditions in Bangladesh are horrific – especially for women and girls.

A sanitation hackathon took place in Bangladesh last weekend as part of the global event. You can find out more about the work they did at: http://www.sanitationhackathon.org/tags/bangladesh). ICA Bangladesh implements a major community development project called the Ghoramara Human Development Program (GHDP) in Chandpur District. The project flyer is at http://www.ica-international.org/pdf/ica_bangladesh.pdf. It integrates several projects covering multifaceted areas including education for disadvantaged children, water and sanitation, income generation activities for disadvantaged women and men, community based HIV/AIDS awareness raising and community leadership development.

Would love to hear if she gets involved with any of these programs and also more about the work that she is doing.

Take care,
Shannon
