I'm in Bangladesh now doing research for my Master's Thesis, which is about the different business models being used to deliver energy services in rural communities (I'm also looking at water a little bit). The food is very tasty and the family that I am staying with couldn't be more helpful or nice.

So far, I've had mostly long days of field interviews, with a few days in Dhaka for meetings with other stakholders like Grameen Shakti (part of Grameen Bank) and BRAC, both major development players in Bangladesh (and the world).

| The collectors and sorters/operators at a MRF/digester. Yes, their shirts are adorned with both the Toronto Maple Leaf' and Armani logos. |

| Yummy snack with puffed rice, spices, oil, some orange things, and onions. |

| If you are a brick manufacturer and are not operating in Bangladesh, you are probably missing out. These guys are all over the place. Construction everywhere! |
Adventurous AND forward-looking, Caroline! Thanks for posting about Bangladesh. I want to hear about it in person when you're home again, but the captioned photos are a good start. In the meantime, I'll be citing your thesis title to my Eco-friends. Proud of you!

Thanks Grandama! I had another post ready to go, but the internet isn't very cooperative right now (lots of photos)! I'm also working on a googleMap of all of the sites! Love you!
