Echerd Farewell. 

Tonight we celebrated the time that both Steve and Pam served in Bangladesh.  Pam was already gone, but we enjoyed listening to Steve reflect on his experiences here.  What a great difference their presence has made in Bangladesh.  

Steve and I compared our heights. 

The bideshi ladies pose with nice smiles.

Girls in the Kitchen. 

This evening I learned a yummy snack called pakora from my sweetest girls and we shared it with the neighbors. :)

Burger. 

Not sure if this photo corresponds to this day precisely, but I want to include it anyway..

The sweet Pences treated me to an All American lunch...it was quite tasty.

Goodbye. 

One last look at Bangkok, a sweet kiss on the cheek to Jerome, and then I was off...back home to Dhaka. I will miss you Azoti family!  

Thank you for the ways you blessed me as neighbors, friends, compatriots in Dhaka, and finally as tourists together in Thailand.  

God's peace shine upon you! 

Muah!

Tourists in the rain. 

A dreadfully dreary day to go sightseeing, but the Azoti family and I braved it anyway. 

This was the last day I would get to spend with my Bangladeshi family from Togo.  Due to visa issues, they stayed in Bangkok to finish up the fellows program while I returned to Dhaka.  

It was a lovely last day spent in each other's company. 

Took this last photo on our way home to our guesthouse...for more information about an organization that takes steps to rescue women in Thailand from the sex trade, please visit nightlifeinternational.com.

LEAD Debrief.

Discussed some intriguing aspects of how to address fundamental issues through language development with these two chaps today.  It was some good talk.

Malls, Malls, Malls, and Jellies in your Starbucks.

Sounds like Bangkok.
