Welcome to Bangladesh,
welcome to Hands On Rayenda.
Don’t think we love you any less,
’cause you got here so late in the calender.
We’ve all travelled very far,
now we’re screaming ‘buji na’.

My time with Hands On at Project Rayenda is up and I’m sad to be leaving but really happy to have discovered this organisation and to have met so many amazing people during my stay here. I’ve loved everything about this experience (except for the occastional dubious dinner) and I’m almost certain I’m going to become a groupie, following Hands On around the world to help out as disaster strikes.
Favourite things about Hands On Rayenda:
- Getting involved and helping out on a level that I would never have been able to achieve on my own.
- Meeting so many amazing people in the volunteer house and laughing constantly.
- Being trusted to majobble my way through construction projects, learning loads in the process.
- Seeing first hand the impact of the projects on the individuals they helped.
- Being adopted into the community and experiencing generosity and warmth from the locals on a level I never could have imagined.
This experience with Hands On has had a huge impact on me. They do great work and they do it in a fun and engaging way and I’m hooked!
