Labor for Tigers
I have a mosquito bite on each cheek. Booo!
We're now up to 12 volunteers from 3 countries. A couple new projects: we're installing latrines in the countryside and will be starting work on our second and third HODR houses this week! I will miss this though, because I am off to Nepal for a visa run. I think.
On my way home today, I met an American guy who is working with the Sundarbans Tiger Project. It's a tiger research program with the University of Minnesota and the Bangladesh Department of Forestry; they're headed out to the mangroves on a boat to do some research on tiger prey, the programs dealing with man-eating (I know, crazy!), and other stuff. They say they are looking for laborers. Ding!
Actually, I doubt that will happen, but when Marc and I first found out we were going to Bangladesh, we saw an article about how some ranger outposts in the Sundarbans had been completely damaged by the cyclone. We thought it'd be a neat project to rebuilt a couple of those. This guy didn't know who to talk to about that, but I invited him to our base for breakfast or lunch tomorrow, so maybe we'll be able to find a link.
Other notes:
I also want a veggie sandwich with avocado, sprouts, and cheese. On crusty bread.
