Visa received

With about a month to go, I got my passport back from the Bangladesh High Commission in Ottawa, with a visa stamp for entry to the country. The process took about 2 weeks. Total fees and courier costs were just over $100.

Still hearing from a few last minute bedkit donors who had pledged earlier this summer.

The floods are receding in Bangladesh, but are leaving waterborne diseases in their wake. Large areas of croplands were also destroyed, exacerbating a continuing food security problem in this country of 150 million people.
