Renowned for its Bengal tigers, the majestic Sundarban mangrove forests and its unique life on the delta of one of the world's largest waterways, Bangladesh speaks to the imagination as well as to our sense of humanity. This beautiful part of the world has seen more than its fair share of history, conflict and challenges, and it stands out for its people's persistence, optimism and gusto. This is a land where everybody smiles, waves or shares a friendly word. Visiting schools will discover a world they knew very little about yet that provides so much inspiration for others to follow - especially where it concerns the standard of living, the development of its human resource and its steadfastness on the path to increases prosperity. A life-changing adventure indeed !
