I am not from Bangladesh but I have friends there. I can ask some of them to contact to you and tell more. One my friend was before studing in my country and returned to home end of the last year (and just married).
What more about my Bangladeshi contacts... I was before as admin in one islamic forum and other admins were from B...

the third-world countries are mostly good and the ppl there are nice but there is lack of law and order (don't know much about bangladesh but i believe that's true about it too - it's something like india and we all know what happened there recently when a woman and her friend tried to take a bus at night). so my suggestion would be that your daughter stick to ppl she knows and not go anywhere with ppl she doesn't know, not go in taxis alone or even with her all-female group, etc. i think you can find out about bangladesh by doing a search online, such as looking up "security in bangladesh" or information for westerns visiting bangladesh or something. Also, she should be able to get reliable information from the group that's taking her there.

Glo is a christian lady and i would like to think her daughter would not have erratic, carefree behavior, but teens are teens, at the end of the day.
Thanks all, for your replies so far.
My daughter is going with the International Citizen Service, which is the youth section of the Volunteers Services Overseas. They seem very organised and well set up. And she will receive training and information. http://www.vso.org.uk/volunteer/oppo...8-25-year-olds
We will need to do some fund-raising too, as she has to raise £800 herself. Does anybody have any ideas?
So far hubby is planning a music evening; I have booked a couple of craft tables to sell my knitting and a friend is organising a 'curry night' ...

I've been to Bangladesh a few times, since my ancestors are Bangladeshi.
I have an English accent, I suppose, so when I went to the marketplace, everyone bumped up the price of their goods like 10 times.
Just be careful. Don't be too trusting there. If your daughter is going, I'd probably suggest always going out in a group. Going alone might be dangerous. And I'd strongly suggest to not dress too extravagantly when going out.
Other than that, Bangladeshis are known for their hospitality. I pray she has a good and safe time, insha-Allah.

That's good to know, as long as she is with trustworthy people then Insha'Allaah it will be OK
- Tell your daughter to always stay covered (wear loose clothing, long-sleeved tops, palazzo trousers, maxi dresses with thin cardigans) otherwise she and her companions will be ogled at, more than they will be if they're uncovered
- To be careful of what they eat and drink
- Never venture out alone, always go in a big group
- Always be aware and cautious
Best to heed the advice given by members whether she is going to Dhaka, Sylhet, Cox Bazaar, Chittagong...

"Curry night" - LOOOL
That had me laughing
Sponsored run? Sponsored silence? Eating a certain amount of a particular type of food and seeing how long she will last in a timed session (A pound per minute or every 10 chocolate bars, something like that )? Sell cupcakes? Wash cars? Mow lawns/gardens?

Ohh, you are GOOOD!
What's funny about a 'curry night'??? LOL
Actually, my friend (who is British) is planning to invite 10-15 friends (also British) to her curry night and charge them £10 each to raise money for the project... so I'm not complaining!
Can you suggest any recipes?
I'd be good at a sponsored run, but less good at a sponsored silence. (Although hubby might like the idea of a sponsored silence! )

*Clears throat* I sincerely apologise for that outburst but please, please, please no korma. Anything but that. I'll give you some recipes in a little while, hold on again
But then again, y'all might like it... *Shudders* Ah, everyone has their own tastes

I hope , she will be able to visit the beautiful places here .
normally people are friendly and hospitable . But now a days , it's hard to trust unknown persons . So , better if ur daughter does not go out alone or with strangers . Also , at night it's not much safe to go out becuase of hijackers .
If she stays in Dhaka , there will be lot of shopping places - u won't beleive how cheap things are here , specially Bango bazar is very famous among foreigners .
As she is coming with a group , God Willing she won't face any problems . But by any chance , if she needs help from Police.
