On Saturday, March 13th, two You Are Never Alone Foundation Board Members and a college student left for Bangladesh with 1300 Caring Coins attached to cards in Bengali signed by students here and a video with our students saying “Hello Bangladesh” with the hope of opening the door to a caring connection between our students and the students of Bangladesh.
Their itinerary started with a press conference. They visited and shared Caring Coins with students at five schools including a school for disabled students; homeless children living in a park; children at girls' and boys' orphanages.
Their itinerary also included visits a TV studio; a garment factory; a historical village, museums, and an Archaeological dig that dated back to at least 3rd century B.C. and a "football" game.
The Caring Coins were a big hit...the door has opened to a caring connection...

Green Mountain College, Poultney, Vermont"A look at the adventures and successes of the You Are Never Alone Foundation in Bangladesh" with GMC student Chris Gaskin '12, Founder Salley Gibney, and Board Member Betsy Butler. The event was very successful. Chris took the lead with the Program with a Power Point Presentation followed with a question and answer period. The students were very enthusiastic about the Program and are looking forward to participating in You Are Never Alone Foundation Events in the fall. One student requested Caring Coins to bring hoe to Afghanistan where he will be teaching English this summer. He did receive the Caring Coins and had the cards signed by his friends at the college. Other students requested Caring Coins to bring home to Honduras and Uganda. We are looking forward to an active You Are Never Alone Foundation Program at Green Mountain College in the fall under the leadership of Chris Gaskin.
