The reason for this blog

Veolia Water UK are sending a representative to the 2010 WaterAid Supporter's trip to Bangladesh, and I've been fortunate enough to be selected.

I will be given the opportunity to see WaterAid projects in Bangladesh first hand, participate in the project work and to be an ambassador for Veolia Water and for WaterAid during my 7 day visit to Bangladesh in late November 2010.

The purpose of this blog is to raise awareness of the the work WaterAid does, and the activities Veolia Water undertakes in supporting WaterAid by documenting my experience before, during and after the trip.

I aim to use this blog to keep you informed of my preparations ahead of the trip, what I learn about WaterAid and what they do in Bangladesh, and of course my experience in Bangladesh itself- the WaterAid projects, the Bangladeshi people etc.
