The East Trip II.

Second day we have travelled to the north of Chittagong. We have visited several schools there. It is strange that seeing how poor the people are always makes me sad. There are things done to improve at least some condition in the lives of people, not all, of course. But the process is way too slow. And in Bangladesh there are way too many people. Imagine that Bangladesh has population nearing 150 million of people. Then you have a country like Iceland whose size is slightly smaller and the population is 300 thousand people.

The schools in this region are way worse than what I was about to see in the other parts of the country. At one place, the school was dark and the students could hardly see. And no electricity ALTHOUGH the electricity is available in this area and the school should have the money from sponzors or the organization to be able to pay for it. It is just the will to make it available there...

Anyways, the day passed by fast. It was hot which makes everything more tiring. By 5pm we have reached the airport and were heading back to Dhaka. The plane was an hour late. As we learnt the plane that we were to use broke down and new plane flew in from Dhaka. I was very happy to land. :o))
