Dip Sarker
(Kapasia, Gazipur)
Dip is one of the top students in his class, an intelligent, hardworking boy who dreams of a better future. His academic success is driven by his deep desire to make his mother proud, a woman who has sacrificed everything to raise him on her own. Dip’s father abandoned the family before he was born. He has never met him. Since then, his mother has carried the entire burden of raising Dip by herself. In their rural village, opportunities for women are extremely limited. Despite this, she took up work as a housemaid. Her determination has ensured that Dip never went without the basics, even when it meant great personal hardship. Now that Dip is in a higher grade, his education costs are increasing, tuition fees, books, and school supplies are becoming more expensive. Though his mother continues to do everything in her power to support him, the financial strain is growing heavier by the day. Raising a child alone, with no stable income or support, is a daily struggle. A sponsorship would not only relieve some of the overwhelming pressure on Dip’s mother but also ensure that Dip’s education continues without disruption. With the right support, Dip can thrive, fulfill his potential, and one day provide his mother with the life she has always dreamed of for him.
