শিশুদের জন্য কলি খাতুনের উদ্যোগ ও SALT-এর প্রভাব

পেচাকোলা কমিউনিটিতে সল্টের কাজে অংশ হিসেবে আমরা যমুনা গ্রুপের সদস্য কলি খাতুনের সঙ্গে SALT আলোচনা করি। সল্টের আলোচনার সময়ই বোঝা গেল, তিনি তার কমিউনিটির শিশুদের নিয়ে গভীরভাবে চিন্তিত।

Life in the city was not easy—crowded, competitive, and often overwhelming. Yet, my heart always stayed rooted in the village. That’s why I…

I was returning after conducting a SALT activity in one of the lanes of Nandwal village. While walking in the heat, I noticed an elderly man sitting alone in front of a house. It was Shamarao Nikam.
