The gift of hope...

As our Board discussed my communications with Rubel, we wondered how our little Caring Coins could make a difference in Bangladesh, where there is so much poverty, hunger, child labor and the list goes on and on...

We asked Rubel this question to which he replied...

"You can give hope to a child laborer that he is never alone. The hope from you to him may open a door to his life for a better world. Children must go to schools for education to know himself, to know his country, to know the world. Living in this world is not just passing days here with too many things to do, it is to learn to give. Though they are fighting against poverty, for food, for cloth, for housing you can’t turn off the light of hope. I do personally believe that a dream and hope is the key of success. Your visit and the Caring Coins give hope for these children and the peoples of Bangladesh."

We were all very touched that a visit from us and the Caring Coins could possibly bring hope to the children and people of Bangladesh. We started discussing ways the children and youths here could reach out to the children and youths there with the Caring Coin as a key to opening a dialog that could lead to understanding and good will between them for the days and years to come.

The more we discussed the possibility of a trip to Bangladesh, the closer we were getting to it becoming a reality...
