Bangladesh is a country of rich culture and vibrant traditions. The soul of Bangladesh is in its villages. These villages are calm, orderly, and peaceful. While there are activities in the fields, homes, schools, mosques, and temples, everything moves at a different pace compared to the cities. Three quarters of the population live in rural areas. Families in rural Bangladesh rely on agriculture and fishing for their daily income.
