We’re not Beyoncé and Shakira, but if you’re able to forgive us that and are still interested in seeing what we’ve been up to and how this project has developed over the past year, feel free to have a look at the pictures below.

These pictures were taken by us during our several visits to see Shahed Kayes and the schools of the Subornogram Foundation. We are confident that you’ll notice that there is certainly a need for some work to be done! Please also note the ever-smiling faces of the students!

All Bangladesh donations will be going to the communities and children you see in these pictures.

In early February, we set out along the road from Dhaka to the Indian border to get an idea of where we’d be running. It took us 17 hours by car and ferry to cover our 580 km road trip – may have been quicker running.
