Record day

This picture shows the team in action at a massive 1300-kit
distribution in Barisal. We set a team record of 637 kits handed to
kids in the first 2 hours. Humidex was 42.

Wonderful hospitality from Captain Hossain, whose family has lived in
this home for 9 generations. We were treated to breakfast this
morning, and a lunch of traditional foods when the distribution was
completed around 3:00 pm.

The family's first generation was buried here in 1637, according to a
marker on the property.

Our steamer casts off at 8:30 pm for the return trip to Dhaka.
Shipboard passenger quarters last night were quite comfortable.
