Ahmedullah's Bolivian diaries

Emdad Rahman: Muhammed Ahmedullah recently visited La Paz in Bolivia.  I’ve known this gentleman for many years and am a huge admirer of the initiatives that he has led on over the years.

During his short visit the hugely creative British Bangladshi cooked Bangladeshi food fare for the Aymara Indigenous people. “I took a Bangladeshi Saree and Punjabi as gifts for a newly married indigenous couple to promote friendship between Bangladesh and the long suffering native peoples of the Americas” he added. 

Back in the UK, Ahmedullah, the secretary of the Brick Lane Circle is renowned for leading on facilitating hugely creative and educational projects.

This is part of his contribution to celebrate 40 years of Bangladesh's independence. 

Ahmedullah added: “I was very well received and touched by the affection and love shown by the locals. This was the first time they had met a Bangladeshi and theitr warmth knew no bounds.
