That’s an excellent project, really well implemented particularly thanks to your very clear enunciation of the international rights and BERDO’s programme. I hope you’ll do your best to promote these YouTube clips throughout the Bangladesh blogosphere. I’ve mentioned the project at Rezwan’s 3rd World View. He has a blogroll including a number of Bangladesh blogs. You might be able to identify other bloggers there who would be interested in this manifesto.
