এই প্রকল্পে সবাই কিভাবে এগিয়ে আসছে, তার একটি উদাহরণ: নিউ ইয়র্কে থাকা এক বাংলাদেশি আমেরিকান চিকিৎসক আমাদের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ করেন। বাংলাদেশি কমিউনিটির মধ্যে যারা মারা গেছেন, তাদের একটি তালিকা করেছিলেন সেই চিকিৎসক। সেসময়, তাঁর তালিকায় ছিল ১৭০ জনের নাম। পরবর্তীতে সংখ্যাটি আরো বেড়েছে। আমরা তাঁর সেই তালিকা ধরে তথ্যগুলো যাচাই করেছি এবং সেটিকে আমাদের বড় প্রকল্পে যুক্ত করেছি।
