Dreams on a blackboard

Temaet som min gruppe fikk var Youth & Dreams.

På gruppe med Wanda, Susanne, og to studenter fra Pathshala, Vashkor og Labib hadde vi alle problemer med å finne ut hva vi skulle ta bilder av. Vi satte oss ned og tok en liten brainstorming, og etter hvert kom ideene frem. Min ide gikk ut på å ta bilder av mennesker som tegnet eller skrev en drøm de hadde på en blackboard som jeg hadde kjøpt.

These two you boys told me they dreamt about getting a big house and a car.
They didn't say much, but they knew what they dreamt of. 

I want to live a peaceful life.
That was all he said.

A very young fisherman was busy selling fish at a market near the river side.
I walked up to him and stood there for a while to gaze at what he was doing.
Eventually I asked him what kind of dreams he had. He didn't smile for a second.
He told me he wanted money. I asked him again if there was anything else he wanted,
but money was all he said.

As old as he was, he walked up to me and asked me what I was doing.
He talked in Bengal and my very bad English translator wrote down his dream.
He dreamt of a big house and a nice car.

I told him to write down a passion or a dream he had, a passion he wanted to fulfill.
He then wrote that he wanted to help helpless people in hard times.

This teacher had quite an interesting dream.
He told me he dreamt of quality education for young people, and more
respect for the teachers. 

I met this man in a park. I told him to draw down a dream on my blackboard.
He sketched down Bangladesh and told me he loved his country and dreamt
of better living standard for all people in Bangladesh.

A young man was selling all kinds of fish at a huge fish market. I asked him what his one
and only dream was. He told me he dreamt of a better life.

Bangladesh, Dhaka.
En fantastisk opplevelse!
