Village visit - Kadimbara

After our second breakfast we took a ferry across the river to visit Kadimbara village.

This is where I finally fell in love with Bangladesh.  It was such a peaceful and happy place on the day we visited. The sun was shining, but not yet painfully hot.  The women in the village have been working with Tarango for a number of years now, and the changes that they had all been able to make were evident.  Rooves and foundations were well maintained, and all the compounds were spotless.  There is enough.  The village is however, still waiting for electricity.

we called these poo-sticks, they will forever now be known as shit-kebabs

Proud Tarango trainer

We spent some time with one of Tarangos master trainers and her family.  Through her efforts and income they now have a fish pond and a new chicken coop, ready for delivery of 300 chicks.
