Wow, it is hard to believe my last day is here, time both flew by but at the same time it feels like I have been here for a long time. As I finishing up packing and prepare for the journey home it is hard to come up with just a few words to describe this experience. Blessed is certainly one word that I can use. I have had the most amazing support from family, friends, the Clinton School, Habitat for Humanity, and the new people I have met here. Traveling can be a lonely venture but knowing that so many people were supporting me throughout it was incredibly helpful. My amazing mother and grandmother even made cards for every week that I was here as a way to show their support and help to see where I was in the time here. These cards were so sweet and something that I appreciate having to look forward to each week. While here I was able to see a lot of different places thanks to some very helpful and kind tour companies, I went on three different trips with Nihjoom Tours and one with Travel Planner Bangladesh, without these two companies I would have not made it around to nearly as many places. Through my tours, trips with Habitat and BRAC, and project work, it is clear that the people of Bangladesh are very kind and welcoming. Even with getting lots of stares and at times being unsure of what was going on I can say that I always felt like I was in good hands.
Bangladesh has a lot of work to do but from my brief time here I was introduced to many people that are working hard to make positive change. I am grateful for the opportunity to come here and work alongside some of them. I don't know if I will make it back here anytime soon but my time here has been a learning experience with many memories made, I had to throw it in there again. I hope that in the coming years things in Bangladesh will continue to improve for the population of millions and more people will be able to discover this country. Here are just a few pictures from my last couple of weeks here. I will try to post once I get back home! Thank you so much to everyone that has followed this blog, the comments and support have helped me so much!
