AFTER DINNER

(L to R) Rehanna, Alice, Dolly (Rehanna’s dau.) and Dustin.

Rehanna and Dolly escorted us to the street to get transportation to travel to our section of the city.  They were so glad that we had come to their home to enjoy a meal, meet the family, and visit.   In this culture relationships are so much more valuable than things.  We are more than glad to help donate clothes, etc. to help families of this housing area to try and get their lives back together after the tragic fire that destroyed many of their homes.  It is blessing that no one lost their life in the fire.  Ten were injured, including one fireman.

Farewells after a nice visit and meal!

GRACIOUS HOSTESS

This nice lady, Rehanna, invited us to her home on February 6 to enjoy a great meal of curried chicken and rice, etc.  This week the contents of her home were destroyed by fire.  Her one-room house had a cement floor and brick walls so it will take less to rebuild than many of the homes.

Rehanna, our gracious hostess.

WAITING FOR CNG

After a 2 hour visit in this home the office helper and her daughter went with us out to the street where we hailed a CNG for our trip home.  This is very typical of the Bengali hospitality.  They don’t just say good-bye at the door, but walk you to the elevator, street etc. to make sure your on the way.  They feel it is their duty as your hosts.  The Bengali people are very hospitable people.  They were very appreciative that we came to visit in their home and enjoy a meal.

LOW INCOME HOUSING?

In this photos you see the community where we were invited to have a meal. It was a tasty meal consisting of beef or mutton curry, potatoes, rice, grapes and 7-up.  It was a very tasty meal and they were so glad we visited.  It was the home of the helper at Dustin’s office.
