Pohela Boishakh - Bengali New Years Day 1417

Today Bangladesh celebrated Pohela Boishakh, which had the city draped in colorful flags and it's people in traditional red and white sarees.  There were many celebrations included in the day, including a New Year parade, a food festival, and traditional Bengali songs and dances being performed in most of the parks.  Most celebrations started on the 13th of April and continued on until today.

It was interesting to see how Bangaldesh celebrates, people all dressed up, places with nice lights and banners... very similar to the west.  Here at school we had a day off to celebrate, yet most students still showed up today in red and white sarees. 


Lately school has been going well but has been quite busy.  I apologize for the lack of updates, but ensure you that I am enjoying my time here serving Him who sent me.  I look forward to finishing the year, and being able to look back and appreciate how good God has been this year.

See you all soon, 7 weeks to go,

In Christ,
Corinne
