International Mother Language Day Celebration


I visited in my host's home where she showed me how to make Bangladesh tea. It is the best tea in the world!

Today was International Mother Language Day and there was a big celebration at school. The students performed Bangladeshi dances.



The students sang Bangladesh songs about the sacrifice of lives given for the Bangla language.


The students dressed in black and white as a sign of mourning for the ones who lost their lives defending the Bangla language. They placed flowers on a memorial to the brave men who died to preserve their language.
