Dear friends,
Many of you may remember Farzana Akhter, a brilliant student whose serial number was 5 out of 200 students in her school. She achieved this remarkable result by studying on her grandmother’s dark balcony for the last six years, with no electricity or any study facilities! In addition to her academic challenges her greedy uncle was trying to evict them there too.
I’m happy to share that Farzana achieved an excellent result with an ‘A’ grade in her SSC exams and has been admitted to college in 2023. Last one year since last October, I’ve been covering all her study expense monthly and I will as long as she wants to continue her studies.
She was preparing for her SSC exam in 2022 and as her helpless mother were struggling to manage the big amount of money for her form fillup, luckily Farzana came to my notice as like my other hundreds of helpless students whom I help with their Form fillup money for participating in their examinations.
Her story brought tears to my eyes immediately. By the time she shared, it had been already afternoon, and her family was still starving because they didn’t even have a handful of rice to cook.
By the grace of God, I was able to take their responsibilities and build a house for them.
To build the house the place needed to be filled with soil. We made two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The earthen floor is paved with cement too. You will be happy to know that I have also arranged some furniture like a bed for them and a table chair for her study, and a rake for clothes. I also arranged electricity for their house.
In total it cost almost 2 lakh taka or 2000$.
I also helped her mother financially, and she was able to flourish in her business of making bamboo basket.
Farzana wants to be a barrister. I believe she will become one. I also believe, getting a little help can change her life and can fulfill her dreams.
My friends, thank you so much for all your support. Without your support and kind contribution, this was not possible. Please keep me in your prayers so that, I may continue my mission to change the lives of helpless people in their need.
Sending my Love and prayers for everyone…
Love and Light!
