Such big hearts for such a small country

The first phrase I learned when I went to Bangladesh was ami khabo na! It means, “Please, don’t give me any more food or I’ll burst!” Those of you who are considering paying a visit, learn it now. Bengalis are very generous to their guests, and in Bangladesh, food is equal to love. During my 15 months in Bangladesh, I had a lot of delicious food and fell in love with the country and its people. Often, overwhelming amounts of both food and love left me feeling very filled.

A few weeks ago, some EFMs (State talk for Eligible Family Members) had a 2 hour talk on volunteer work. There were only 2 groups represented, but it was a great chance to learn about their organizations.

My name is Zeina-Rachel, I'm from Canada, and I study International Development at the University of Ottawa. At the beginning of my university career, I was blessed enough to find the most caring group of friends who live for nothing but to create greater good for the greater amount of people. With these friends, we formed a group called 'Unity for Action' and throughout the years, we have put on shows and fundraisers for different causes. Through this, my knowledge of Jaago began to unfold.
