Its Holliday time here in Lebanon, and in the Muslim world in general. Eid al-Adha as it’s called, is in remembrance of the story of when Abraham was about to sacrifice his son but God spared “us” and provided a ram instead. In modern times, a ram is sacrificed and divided into thirds. One part for the poor, another for relatives, and the remaining part for the family.
Our time in Bangladesh has come to a close. Not because we want to move on but because our visa’s are maxed out, with one day to spare.
It was a little sad to leave all the people we’ve gotten to know and worked along side. New friends from France, Belgium, USA, and of course the many Bengali’s at the Hope Foundation. They’ll continue to do their best to help the almost one million Rohingya refugees.
As Salamm Alaikum, Guess what? Its raining. Don’t remember the last time it was dry. Suzanne and I are still here in Cox’s Bazar trying to assist the almost one million Rohingya refugees. We’ve partnered with a local NGO called The Hope Foundation and they’ve been wonderful to us, supporting us and letting us do whatever we want.
Hello, Nathan Atteberry here. I hope all is well.
Suzanne and I are planning on volunteering for a couple of months in what we see as two of the most dire locations on earth. We were wondering if you wanted to help too?
This fact always blows my mind. 1 in 10 people in the world is a refugee.
