Karen Blixen penned 'I have a farm in Africa' as opening lines for 'Out of Africa'. It is time for our Blixen moment: 'We have a school in Bangla Desh'. Our school is Bangla Pata on Bhola Island, one of the most impoverished areas of Bangla Desh and 300 girls and boys attend daily. In late 2006 Lindy and I approached the CO-ID group (Fred Hyde http://www.fredhyde.org) after seeing their tale on Australian Story. Our school was built by our funds and is maintained each year, including the salaries of four teachers, by our funds. It is a wonderful thing to know that every book, DVD or CD we sell funds our school and helps our 300 kids.
