Yes, Ken, I think there should be done more. I was surprised not to see anything happening in the schools here – we have many international schools with so many people talking “minority” languages and I don’t understand why nobody is initiating this here. Will try to find out and see what we can do. I would really like to know where this day is actually celebrated and how.

I think most Bangladeshis would like to see the world take greater note of this day to learn from the struggle they went through.
