A Day of Teacher Training and a Home Visit

Interesting Fact of the Day: In Bangladesh, they drive on the
opposite side of the road from us. The steering wheel is also opposite
of ours and is on the right.


This sweet family invited me into their home for dinner. They are friends of my host. We enjoyed a homemade meal and conversation in English. Their son taught me a bit about the game of cricket. The World Cup Cricket tournament is currently being held in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the World Cup is equal to our Super Bowl or World Series.

These are the teachers from the secondary school who took part in my teacher training class. This is on a Saturday. The students from grade 6 and up, attend school every Saturday until 1:30.

This is the principal of the secondary school. He is retired Brigadier General Jubayer Siddique.

These are teachers at the primary school. This school has children in "play group" (which we call kindergarten) up to 4th grade.

The teachers in this session are all female. Their students, who are young, do not come to school on Saturdays.
