We had a great day today in Bangladesh. A long, great day.
We drove out to a rural Hindu community that Food for the Hungry has worked in since 2011.
Today the bloggers all had the opportunity to meet their sponsor kids. It was such a joy to see them connect with these girls that live half a world away, to have them see firsthand the power of their sponsorship. Since we split into groups, I spent most of my day with my sweet {and kind of crazy} friend Joy. It was so fun to watch her play with Fulmoti.
Joy learned Bengali games.
And Fulmoti learned Red Light, Green Light.
And Duck, Duck, Goose.
Any observer would see that these two had a lot in common, they were both so vibrant, so full of life. And they both had quite the little competitive streak. {Pretty sure I saw some false starts and pushing.}
Can’t wait to hear about how their relationship flourishes.
Here are my favorite pictures from each of the blogger’s visits:
