Its with great sadness that I report that I’m leaving Dhaka, and the last of my Dhaka days are coming to a close. Realizing that there were so many last things that I would be doing I set out to take as many pictures of my daily routine as possible. Here are more pictures of the city and daily life in Bangladesh.

I really wanted to do something nice for the kids at the shelter before I left, so I put together a pizza dance party one afternoon! I hired a DJ to play the kids favorites, and ordered pizza, which was the first time that most of the kids had ever had pizza before. A true experience all kids should have, a good old fashioned pizza party!

Saying goodbye
I have loved every minute that I spent with the kids at the shelter, and they will forever hold a special place in my heart. I learned so much from them about resilience, overcoming obstacles, and learning to be happy and thankful for what you have. The shelter is such a bright spot in all of the crazy things that you see in Bangladesh, and gives me such hope for the future. I know that those kids have a bright future ahead of them and I will miss them like crazy.
