For 8 days I stayed at my friend's family in the small village of Balaborhati, in the very north of Bangladesh. While I was there, I went to a local school to make photographs. I found children sitting on a clay floor, without any desks or benches. To make a long story short, the teachers asked me if I could help by providing them with new desks. Since I had the experience of doing a similar project in Cambodia in 2010, I promised to collect money for 60 school desks that would be bought from a local supplier.


The agreement with the local supplier is that I will make a 50% down payment once I have 60 sponsors. The local supplier will then commence the work. In April 2014 I will return to Bangladesh to collect the desks for delivery to the school and pay the remaining 50%.

If you would like to help these children by sponsoring a desk, please get in touch with me.
