Birthday celebration!

It’s already a week since I celebrated my birthday. My parents came to celebrate the occasion together. It’s a real privilege to have them here and to show them how I live and work. And of course, they were the couriers of a huge pile of cards and presents! Because it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that you get to celebrate your 50th, I decided to hold a big party. I invited all the staff here from overseas, and colleagues and friends – a total of 100 people! We had a BBQ and rice and lots of good conversation. I’m so thankful that I’m so healthy, that my parents are alive at this time, that I have reached this age, and that I can work here in Bangladesh!
