Understanding Bangladesh

No ship like friendship

Our day began at the Jagannath University in Dhaka.

Established in 1868 as a college it is one of the oldest in Dhaka.

Dr. Paul's niece attends school here and we had the honor of meeting her while we were there. We were greeted as honored guests with flowers and a huge banner announcing our arrival.

One of the professors said, "There are big ships, there are small ships, but there is no ship like friendship." I think we have all made many new friends in Bangladesh.

Kathy, Jill and Sarah kindly performed their rendition of "Our Favorite Bangladesh Things" and were a big hit with the students.

As in all the schools we visited we were very enthusiastically received and Kay expressed that "the youth of Bangladesh is their greatest resource."
