Life inside Banchte Shekha

My Reflections from Bangladesh Trip

1.Biggest and most important achievement was being able to now know what I want to do with my life. I always knew the purpose of my life is to give something back to the humanity. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to devote my career towards this. This trip has made it vivid that “Yes” this is what I want to do. 2. I have been able to create a solid network of people, who are genuinely interested inRead More

Planting Onions

February 26, 2018 Life inside Banchte Shekha

I think I mentioned earlier Banchte Shekha is a self sustaining organisation. They grow their own vegetables and fruits, farm their own animals and fishes. So few weeks ago, when Angela mentioned she’s taking the whole crew to their Hoibotpur branch to plant onions I could not resist the offer. I jumped in the van with eleven other staff members and left for Hoibotpur. On our way there I started singing and asked everyone else to join in and beforeRead More

Limitations…

The education program is targeted at children of those, who are known as “Untouchables” (Untouchables would often do work considered too dirty for members of the higherRead More

New Year and a New Beginning..

Hey guys, today was my first day at Bachte Shekha. To be honest, I was a bit nervous about how it was all going to turn out. My nervousness disppeared as soon as I got to see Angela. After I spoke with her, I got this sense of energy and my focus was reassured. She has so much wisdom and the more I listen to her and get to know her I am astonished as to how one person canRead More
