" "Studying Development Studies has taught me that real change begins in our own communities. If my knowledge can help even 5–10 children learn and grow, especially those whose parents can't send them to school—then why not? Challenges like budget constraints are real, but if we don't try, then who will?" "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Basic Learning by Shoto-Dishari
I am the co-founder of an organization called Shoto-Dishari. Currently, I reside in Eastern Housing, Mirpur 12, where I have observed many children in my neighborhood who are not attending school and spend their afternoons playing. Over time, I have built a bond with these children by occasionally joining their games, earning their trust and respect. Inspired by this connection, I have envisioned a project under Shoto-Dishari called "Basic Learning by Shoto-Dishari." This initiative aims to provide these children with foundational education and encourage them to continue their studies, fostering a brighter future for them. My goal is to make learning accessible and engaging, creating opportunities for these children to thrive academically and personally.
