I am a full time flight attendant and last April 2005 on a simple 24hour trip to Dhaka Bangladesh I came across with poverty.

With people living without the main basics of life ,no acess to clean water , without food ,without home , without acess to education , acess to medical health , where children are source of income to their families .

I couldnt understand how we as human beings allowed this lack of humanity to blind our eyes , and erase any sense of moral responsability towards such injustice.

I decided to focus in how things schould be rather how they were and toke action .

The Dhaka Project didn’t started with a great idea or brilliante strategy , or even a great leader but with a simple desire to help those in need , most important give them the knowledge to meet life challenges …give them the ressources , the tools so they could become self suffiencient

And doind it so this action has brought me home to my heart and home to myself as a women.My life is bigger and broader for having immersed in Dhaka.

If like me you think this kind of poverty is unacceptable you must join me in breaking the cycle of poverty but you must be in it for the long haul ,as poverty doesnt end overnight.

If you are in Dhaka and want to visit please call Solaiman on 01715437179. Donations such as milk , rice , clothes and diapers most welcome
