Md. Abdur Rahman
(Karail Bowbazar, Dhaka)
After receiving sponsorship support, Abdur Rahman’s education has been able to continue with greater stability, even amid recent changes in his living situation. Due to his grandfather’s illness, he has temporarily moved to his village, and for the time being, he is continuing his studies there. The sponsorship has ensured that his basic educational needs remain supported during this transition, so his learning does not come to a halt. This period of relocation could have easily disrupted his early education, but the assistance has helped maintain continuity. Despite being away from his usual school environment, Abdur is still able to stay engaged with his studies in the village setting, which has brought reassurance to his parents. For his family, this support has come at a crucial time. With limited income and ongoing health challenges within the household, managing education costs alongside other responsibilities had become increasingly difficult. Abdur Rahman and his family express sincere gratitude to the sponsor, as this help has allowed him to keep learning without interruption, even during a challenging family situation.
Abdur Rahman is the youngest of two siblings and is currently attending nursery. His parents dream of providing him with a higher education and sending him to college one day. Unfortunately, Abdur's older brother was unable to continue his education beyond fifth grade due to the financial hardships their family faced during the pandemic. Despite these challenges, they are determined to keep Abdur in school for as long as possible. However, their financial situation makes it increasingly difficult to support his education. Abdur's father works as a rickshaw puller, and his income is limited. His mother, due to a throat illness, is unable to work and must stay home to care for Abdur. Although Abdur's older brother works as a peon, his earnings are insufficient to cover the family's needs, especially given his limited education. The family of five is struggling to make ends meet, and the burden of supporting Abdur's education adds to their difficulties. A sponsorship for Abdur would ease the financial strain on his family, ensuring that he does not face the same fate as his older brother, and allowing him to continue his education without interruption.
