Pre-departure Thoughts


Working with an organization such as the RDRS is a completely new experience to me and I can't wait to learn about the developments they have made and the impacts it has on the community. I hope to learn how communities have received their programs and how they have adjusted to accommodate the projects involved. I hope to understanding how two separate parties can work in tandem to achieve common goals, and how they can influence each other to attain better results.

This trip to Bangladesh promises many experiences which I look forward to sharing with the group. I hope that we can exchange thoughts and opinions on the various topics which we will come across. This will demonstrate the ways one event could be experienced differently but each of us. 

I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the people, their culture, politics and religion and how these aspects are intertwined in their daily lives. By understanding this, I too can apply this to my life, and learn how I can achieve a balance in all aspects of life.

I look forward to the culture, the music, conversations, dance, sport and the food. I really feel that these social aspects are a close reflection of the national pride and show what's important to the Bangladeshis.
