Carolyn started the project in the Chittagong Hills Tracts to support the impoverished people there with literacy programs, proper sanitation, nutrition and practical skills. The Chittagong Hill Tracts are an area within the Chittagong Division in southeastern Bangladesh, bordering India and Myanmar. Although Bangladesh is independent since 1971 and a democracy, the Chittagong Hills is a high risk militarized zone in Bangladesh controlled by the government. It is a restricted access nation within a nation.
Along with a friend from Bangladesh who is from the area, Carolyn founded a non - Profit organization in January 2017 called CLAP (Canadian Leadership Assistance Program, now registered society in Canada) for fund raising purposes in support of the Chittagong Hill Tracts project. The organization has a Canadian Board of Directors (6 Canadians and our Executive Director who is from the Chittagong Hill).
