On to Bangladesh

We have now moved to Dhaka, Bangladesh for the second part of our historic journey. Myra and I, like the other IAWP delegates, took advantage of a few hours rest because we arrived at 3:30 a.m. I think we look rested here. This photo is taken on the front porch of the Bangladesh Staff College which is our home for this week.



As we drove up the long approach to the College, we all observed these wonderful purple posters. I made Myra pose beside this one which featured a photo of her taken at the Minneapolis 2010 Conference. These posters are everywhere in the city to highlight the 1st Asia Region Women Police Conference.

There is an air of festivity surrounding this conference. That is the reason why the flags are out along the College drive. The conference opening ceremony will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel downtown (tomorrow morning) but the conference program will take place here at the Bangladesh Staff College.
