Yes, we will come to Bangladesh.....

Deep inside, I believed that we should go to Bangladesh, given how Rubel had found the You Are Never Alone Foundation and the Caring Coins, but remember I am the one who had the dream...

This would be a Board decision. After much discussion, it was decided that the You Are Never ALone Foundation would bring Caring Coins to Bangladesh. The You Are Never Alone Bangladesh Program was official.

Since March is the month of the Celebration of the Children in Bangladesh, Rubel suggested that we come in March. We would design a Me to You Card in Bengali to be attached to the Caring Coins. These cards would be signed by children and youths here who would then attach them to the coins that we would bring to Bangladesh. Rubel emailed the lettering in Bengali and my husband Bob, designed the card.

We then contacted schools in our area and invited them to join us in our You Are Never Alone Bangladesh Program by signing the Me to You cards and attaching them to the Caring Coins. We have asked these students to share with us their questions about life in Bangladesh. We will ask these question of the students in Bangladesh, and in turn ask what questions they may have about life here. Thus the dialog begins...

If you would like to see the cards in Bangali, go to our website:
www.YouAreNeverAloneFoundation.org and click in the the You Are Never Alone Bangladesh page.

In the meantime, Kaye, Betsy and I are getting the necessary innoculations and medications and pulling together our wardrobes of "gentle" clothes. (This is how Rubel discribed the clothes we should bring with us)

We look forwawd to hearing your thoughts and questions...
