Holed up in the hotel finalising the project so not much news. You can't take anything for granted here: no-one knows how many people live in the slums; they don't have addresses; they have no rent, bills or tax to pay; they might as well not exist. There are lots of people in charities and businesses like ours trying to help. We found a comprehensive list of estimated populations and precise map locations of all the 5000+ Bangladesh slums on the internet! From a population research centre at the University of North Carolina, done in 2005. Now we can identify the biggest areas and employ people there first. How did anyone ever do anything before Google was around?
Presentation tomorrow, will post it then.
Hope you've had a good weekend. Enjoying the snow?
Hey David - all sounds great. And we're looking forward to seeing the final details.
ReplyDeleteNo I really don't know how anyone coped without google!
