The School of Hope receive a visit from the England U-19 Cricket Team

We had a wonderful surprise when the England U-19 Cricket team dropped in to say hello and to present us with 56,000 Taka which was the sum of all the fines collected during their tour. So thank you, and please continue to misbehave, because after all,it's for a good cause!

Welcome to The School of Hope - Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Our school was formed in 1990 and provides an 'almost free'* education to 200 children aged 4-11 who live in some of the poorest slums in Dhaka. Along with a daily educational school programme the children also receive a free hot meal and snack of fruit during their school day. The school is funded solely by donations.

This is is our blog - we aim to keep you updated and involved in what we're doing, what we're learning and who's supporting us and how you can help too.

So Welcome to The School of Hope Blog!
