# Chitra Katha photo poster No. 13: Pakistani students at Beirut (Bengali photo poster distributed in Dacca)

A Bengali photo sheet headed 'Pakistani students at Beirut University'. Photographs show Pakistani men and women studying public health and education at the American University of Beirut under a U.S. international cooperation scheme, in classrooms, a library and on the campus. The text says 27 Pakistani students attend and will return within a year. The tell is glittering-generalities with plain-folks: named students and mixed-nationality friendship are used to present the programme.
