On the 29th of November, I had the luck of finally visiting this place along with my Classmates. After getting lost somewhere in Ashkona - when we Finally reached The Dhaka Project's main Building - I really cant express the feeling I had seeing the warm welcome they had organized for us. We'd had done a Book Drive in School where we collected various types of story books and educational books. But reaching that place , we'd had forgotten everything we've done to get there - What mattered to us at that moment was the 100 Watt innocent smile that was on every child's face there.

Luckily for us , we had the chance to meet with the Project's Founder Maria, and i must say it was a GREAT experience. I asked her "Why of all the places did you choose Bangladesh ?" The answer she gave me and others was such, " Everywhere else, people are wanting more and more, but here, in Bangladesh, People have nothing and yet they will give you Everything!"
Visiting the kindergarten section and Preschool and various Training Sections this Project consists of - I was amazed at what one person has managed to achieve - The kids were completely adorable, and all of us wanted to stay there all day long but couldnt due to bad school timings.

Seriously people, You should visit this place for atleast ONCE - Even if you cant help in any possible way - just go and spend one day with these kids - they shall take your heart away.

The Welcome that we Received


The Kindergarten Kids : Innocence Unlimited

All I was doing was fixing my shoelaces when this girl [ at left ] comes up to me and starts talking. I ask her what she's learned. And she starts off with ABCD and goes on with 1234 while her friends join her. Couldnt resist myself so just took this shot !
