YOUNG BENGALI GIRL.  THINKING? Or sad?

Day 335

HALIM, ONE OF MY GOOD MUSLIM BENGALI FRIENDS.  He was dressed for the prayers on Korbani Eid day.  He is one of the 10-20 guys, I play football (soccer) with 5 days a week.

Day 321

TODAY IN BANGLADESH IT WAS EID-ul-Ajha, which is the Eid in which they sacrifice an animal to in recognition of when  Abraham took his son to Mt. Moriah to be sacrificed.  Each family decides whether to sacrifice a camel (rarely in Bangladesh), a cow, or a goat.  We had 13 cows and 9 goats in our parking garage this morning in prep for this event.  We live in an apartment with 32 apartments.  Here in a nearby field there are many Bengalis participating in the special prayers before the sacrifices happen.

Day 316

Day 293

TWO YOUNG BOYS in Old Dhaka wanting their photo taken.

Day 290

BLACK SUNDAY AT THE Mirpur stadium though the Bangladesh cricket team won their 4th one-day match against New Zealand (171-175).  My strap on my Rebel XTI let loose twice resulting in my camera falling to the ground or cement floor.  I thought maybe just my screen was bad, but when I uploaded the 614 wanna-be good photos they looked like this after using the auto-correct with GIMP!!  Each photo showed the exposure times, aperature, etc. but they were all black before being auto-corrected.

Day 255

DUSTIN, OUR SON pondering his next scrabble move.  If you want some stiff competition, play against him!

Day 221

BENGALI LADY

Day 209

Day 164

PRAYERS SAID ON AUSTIN’S behalf as he makes his last visit to this former sex-workers’ MCC project in Mymensingh, Bangladesh.  This is a great project to get these women off of the streets and give them a skill to provide a more respectable source of income.

Day 122
