D.C and our eldest son have been away for a few days in Dhaka. They have been having various meetings with people regarding IT. It's been rather exciting for them with opportunities of companies and people wanting to help. I can't give you the full details yet but only because I don't really know the facts. There's a guy also over from England that's a real mover and shaker, D.C had been in conversation with him before we arrived in Bangladesh. Yesterday they went to a village which was a 3.5hr drive away. I believe they are wanting the village to pilot free wifi with the end term goal of getting the e-learning platform available to remote villages so that education is available to all. Mobile phones are everywhere now which can be used as a great learning tool. BTW, the trip back to Dhaka took over 5 hrs for them due to traffic. I think they head back to Chandpur tomorrow.
This is morning tea on the way to the village..
Meanwhile, I've been here in Chandpur with our 3 other boys. We are back into homeschooling again. Fortunately internet access is great and although there is the odd power cut it's not too bad. The boys also manage to catch up with friends and play some online games with them. It's so much easier these days to move to a new country and keep in contact with family friends. It must have been very isolating and lonely years ago, hats off to those that did it pre internet, we have it easy.
I've also been asked if I could start auditing the accounts for the schools so I've had a couple of meetings regarding this and another meeting today. Things are much more paper based with excel spread sheets so I just need to sort out their process and then get stuck into it. I need to audit from 2011 to 2019 so I think that's going to keep me from being idle.
