摘要：Travel from the Bangladeshi
capital of Dhaka to the
district of Rangpur in
the country¡¯s northwest
takes about 7 hours by an
increasingly rough road. In the course
of that long journey, you get a feel for
this largely flat, waterlogged nation,
teeming with around 150 million
people. Departing the crowded
urban streets of Dhaka, you leave
behind images of makeshift tents
crammed between trees along the
highway. Nearing Rangpur, you can
see communities of tin houses. And
in villages in neighboring Nilphamari
and Kurigram districts, families
live in thatch huts, most of them
without electricity or plumbing. These
simple dwellings represent home for
millions of Bangladesh¡¯s poor. About
one-fifth of the nation’s population—
around 30 million people¡ªsuffer
from severe hunger each year.
