I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank this group of wonderful people who took part in the mission to Sylhet, Bangladesh 2015. It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to have met and worked with you all. To those who worked behind the scenes to make the mission the success it was, a big thank you.
