This is a special trip to Bangladeshi.th I visit the country or travel with the sustainable development students of the new class, but my daughter Elizabeth is with me. She listened to the story and grew up watching the photo of Bangladesh. Always “When will you take me?” Now that time has arrived.
My course uses Bangladesh as a focusing area to collect intersections with various global science and environmental issues and the population living here. Undergraduate sustainable development programs aim to provide students with a wide range of areas necessary for the development of human welfare, without making irreversible harm to the earth. Many of these problems cross in Bangladesh, and the large population is one of the most dynamic and sensitive environments on the planet, and is one of the most dynamic and sensitive environments on the planet threatened by climate change. As part of the class, we teach you to come to Bangladesh and see the country and talk with people.
Students also have two group projects interviewing people in four villages nationwide. One is similar to a project in 2023 and interviews people about “Bangladesh Delta’s Climate Theater and Migration”. This is a Robert Stojanov at the University of Mendel in Czech A Bruno. The other is to explain the effects of the heat stress adaptation of Bangladesh between the explanation between, intersection and spatial lenses. This is originally from Bangladesh, but is supervised by Bishawjit Mallick of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
On Thursday evening, March 13, we arrived in Bangladesh on Saturday morning. At the airport, we met 10 Duka University students who gave us all the flowers. We went to the 29 -seat bus to drive us for the next four days. The two professors of Kazi Matin Ahmed and Mahfuz Khan also led the trip.
Our first stop was the National Martyrs in Saba outside Taka capital. In Sabah, we started for lunch for the eat. It was Ramadan, and DU students and two students fasted for a month. Refreshing, we went to the memorial as a monument of seven secondary triangles set in a well -trimmed enthusiastic environment for those who were killed during the independence war. This place was one of the murders of the Pakistanian army in the 1971 war. It is estimated that up to 3 million people died in the nine -month war until India’s intervention helped to end this.
There we traveled northwest to the hotel near the Jamuna River, the name of the Brammutra River in Bangladesh. About 200 years ago, the river has already moved west in what is already called Old Brahmaputra River, or Avulsed has already moved from a small waterway called Jamuna River. We settled in the hotel for “IFTAR”, a meal for fasting Ramadan. It is a light meal of other foods that are eaten immediately after sunset, fried eggplant, fried eggplant, and other foods immediately after sunset. After IFTAR, we went to a nearby Tangail city. DU students helped students, lungis, saris and other clothing before returning for dinner.
After a good night’s sleep, we headed to Jamu or River. In the steamed season, the river consists of many cross -shaped waterways and sand islands called charcoal. While the flow of monsoon is increasing, it is almost 3-6 miles away from all the water. Nevertheless, more than 700,000 people live on charcoal during the dry season, farm and farm. Some live throughout the year and some of them live according to the season. In this dynamic river, charcoal is always changing, and people must move every 10 years.
We sailed north under Jamuna Bridge and New Railway Bridge and headed for charcoal I picked. Finally, when I was here, it changed from the map. After the false began, we sailed to the site I chose. The waterway moved to the west and eroded the charcoal there, but built the sand of the wide apron on the east of the river. The bypass delayed us, but we made the nearest small village and high King. In the village, the students were divided into several groups of Columbia and DU students, and began interviews about the life of charcoal and how it changed. Since there were six families in the village, we walked to the next village to continue interviews in 98 degrees.
There was a shallow tubewell near the village, and we poured cool water over the head to slogan. I kept interviewing people in the last village until several groups left. The team gathered a lot of stories about the people who lived on charcoal and left when they were eroded, but returned from the river. Others later moved to it. Some people lived on charcoal all year round, and others spent the monsoon season.
There was a little mix up when I left. Our boats have changed to the closer places, but we have crossed the place we were and where we had to come back. The group had a different path on the coast of charcoal, but eventually we all returned to the boat. We returned to Ghat (Dock) and the bus took us to the hotel on IFTAR. We concluded the first day with the traditional Bangladesh’s concert.
