Amazing Hospital Marty this is a fasinating journey you are taking. Now you can tell every one 'first hand' about the hospital, cost of surgery etc. Maybe we could round up people for a 'Group Rate'... How much is your hotel per night? Maybe you could fack a bad back and slip over to the hospital for a night or two for a better bed. I gave your Blog information to Jane from the Quaker community. Glad to hear all is well.

You are correct Hi Jane - you are correct - she is a Muslim and apparntly they don't get that close to men other than their husband and don't let men enter their home. She did not all another fellow in the group in - while at the same time she welcomed a woman in, Hope all goes well for Fonkoze at the fair. A number (six or so) are from Grameen Foundation in the US and know Fonkoze and Anne well. They have been very active in supporting her and her operations.
hi Nice to get your notes and pics. I am curious if the lady is a Muslum as that may explain why she seemed to lean away from your hand on her shoulder? I may be way off on this observation and forgive me if so. Tomorrow is the Global Faire at the Old Mission where 10 nonprofits will be represented including Fonkoze and the Zimbabwe orphans. You will be telling good stories when you return. Best, Jane
more people Hi Marty,
I am having fun telling people that you are on this journey. I have given your Blog address to lots of people so your numbers will grow. People are truely amazed at what you are doing. Mary (care giver to Lidia) was in today and she took it down so you may hear from her. Can't imagine sleeping on a hard board. Maybe setting up a business with blow-up mattresses would be a good idea??? All is well here.

photos Great picture of the basket lady. Notice the 45 degree angle she is leaning almost out of the picture. It is amazing you even got her in this picture as it is obvious she is not comfortable. This is going to be womderful interview material in the States, once you return. Loved the bed picture. Makes your pillow a shrine...

Blessings Hi Marty, Darrell and I received and read your blog for the first time today and looked at your pics...They are really amazing! Our prayers and good energy is coming your way. May you remain safe and healthy on your special mission to help the people of Bangladesh. I told Usha you were there now, and she sends her blessings along with the crew at the studio...I believe your transformational purpose is funded with love too, and will spread wherever you go....Martha
Your Comments Hi Lynn - I think that many of your questions were answered in a blog I subsequemtly wrote and others I will include in future blogs. Now it is mid-night and I will try to get back to sleep. Tomorrow the hotel will have my laundry done and back same day.
pictures Marty, what do the villages look like? and would love to see the women weaving baskets. How is the weather? How do you do your wash? Are you loosing weight? Enjoy seeing the pictures of the area. Do they consider you a giant? You seem to tower over the people. How do the children respond to you?
