From the very beginning of the project we were saying that we are in Kazan to work. When the project participants were asking whether we had a chance to walk around Kazan, either me or Nolan would probably say that we still have a lot of time to do that. We thought (and rightly so)…
After a glorious morning visiting Chittagong University, Kirsten, a lot of flip-charts and I went to catch a train back to Dhaka escorted by the super cool/efficient/extraordinaire Subir . We were surprised by a group of participants who came to say goodbye. You guys were soooo sweet!!! Thanks Tanvir for taking and sharing the picture.
I am 1 and a half hour in my 17 hours layover in Kolkata, India. This first hour has been eventful, but I have the strong sensation things are going to slow down. To be sincere, I should be quite upset right now. I am in an absurd situation. First of all, I bought a…
Now passed 4 classes Recrear. Unfortunately, I later joined the other participants and was afraid that I will have excess, but for nothing. organizers flexibly approached this issue.

That is encouraging, but also challenging: can we actually meet all their expectations? Since they do have such different interests! We have had participants majoring in geology,…
After a week of sharing Recrear’s vision, projects and internal organization with the management of YPSA, I am reminded forcefully that Recrear is not a joke. YPSA’s organizational history is packed with lessons for us. This middle size NGO recently celebrated its 26th birthday. Impressively, today YPSA manages over 2000 workers and receives funding from a range of national…
