Asma a little angel, whose only dream was to go to school.

Dear friends,

You may all remember, Asma a little working girl, her video and story went viral as soon as I posted it on my page last month.

Asma a little angel, whose only dream was to go to school. But this little fairy’s dream was being crushed every day because of the extreme cruelty of poverty ever since she started learning.

You will be happy to know, by the grace of God, I admitted her to the school last week, and yesterday was Asmar’s first day at school.

Asma’s mother and I took her to her first day of school and I can’t explain her expressions of happiness in words…

Just know that, her happiness made me cry…

These precious experiences make my life worthy and inspire me to continue my work farther everyday.

But it was not easy at all. I had to motivate her mother to get Asma admitted to the school. For that, I had to take care all her expenses such as her admission fees, tuition fees, daily food, books, notes, clothes and everything she needs to grow up as a happy child. Also, I had to financially compensate her parents for the entire amount of money she would have earned each month if she had worked instead of going to school. I will bear all her expenses, and I want to make sure she continues her school and gets the beautiful life as she was dreaming of. Please keep Asma in your prayers.

Now Asma is one of my 30 students whom I have been able to enroll into school from their working places.

Thank you so much my friends for always appreciating my journey. Nothing would have been this easier for me without your support and inspiration. My heartfelt gratitude.

Please keep me in your prayers so that I may continue my mission to change the lives of people in need. To me, even one single difference is counted.

Love and Light

Love for Arifa.

Dear friends,

You may all remember Arifa as I posted a story about her last week.

Arifa is a brilliant student and a beautiful positive soul, whose father is mentally ill and mother is forced to remarry due to scarcity in the family.

Arifa has grown up with her grandmother since she was three years old seeing and surviving hundreds of hardships as a result she forgot how to smile!!

I thank God that Arifa came to my notice last month.

You will be happy to know, by the grace of God,

I admitted her to the school last month and able to take her full financial responsibilities for her lifestyle and schooling. I am going to support her family and her expenses such as her admission fees, tuition fees, daily food, books, notes, clothes and everything she needs to grow up as a happy child. I will bear all the expenses to ensure that she can continue to go to school and get a beautiful and healthy life.

I want to make sure she never forgets to ‘smile’ again…

Thank you so much my friends for always appreciating my journey. Nothing would have been this easier for me without your support and inspiration. My heartfelt gratitude.

Please keep me in your prayers so that I may continue my mission to change the lives of people in need. To me, even one single difference is counted.

Happy Friday.

Love for Eva Rani.

Dear friends,

You may all remember Eva Rani. The story of this courageous lady touched all your heart and inspired thousands of people.

Last year by gifting Eva Rani, a cow with a calf as an income source, I wanted to give her some hope, so she can remain just as unbroken as she is and can gives life a good fight with her two little daughters.

I also built a shed for them which to keep the cows and in total it cost almost 2000 USD.

She used to get 4 liters of milk from the cow, and by selling the milk she used to earn 300 takas per day. Keeping some milk for her daughters, she was able to earn 9,000 takas per month.

The good news is, the cow gave a new calf again and the previous calf has grown a lot. She is planning to sell the first calf soon and by selling it she can earn around 80 thousand to 1 lakh taka. With that money, she is thinking of repairing her broken hut.

And now by selling the cow’s milk (around 4-5 litters per day) she is continuing her family expenses. As I took all the responsibilities of her daughter’s education and admitted them to a nearby KG School last year. Eva Rani does not have to bear for her children’s education.

Now this family has a happy smile on their face, and they have started living a beautiful healthy life. Please keep them in your prayers.

Our little effort can change the life of a family…

My friends, your positive support pure love, and strong faith in me help me to move forward every single day.

Please keep me in your prayers so that I may continue my mission to change the lives of helpless people as much as I can. To me, even one difference is counted.

Sending my kindest Gratitude, Love and Light to everyone.
