Small Hands, Big Warmth. ছোট উদ্যোগে বড় উষ্ণতা।

গত কিছুদিন আগে আমি দক্ষিনপাড়ার অভিযাত্রী টিমের ফলোআপ এ গিয়েছিলাম। তানজিলা, সাকিবা,মিম্মিসহ দলের সকলের সাথে শীত কেমন কাটছে, কীভাবে শীতে নিজেকে প্রটেক্ট করছে এ বিষয়ে কথা বলি। শীতের কথা বলতে বলতেই আমাদের মাঝে কথা আসে সমাজের এমন সব মানুষদের যাদের এই শীতে গায়ে দেওয়ার কিছু নেই। তখন তারা চিন্তা করে বলে তাই তো! কখনো তো এদের কথা এভাবে ভেবে দেখিনি। তখন আমি…

Hunger Harsher Than Winter: The Struggle for Survival of Marginalized Communities

শীতের চেয়েও তীব্র ক্ষুধা: কমিউনিটির মানুষের বেঁচে থাকার লড়াই।

প্রচণ্ড শীতে সারাদেশ যখন কম্বল, লেপ আর গরম পোশাকে ঢাকা, তখনও কমিউনিটির মানুষগুলোর শীত যেন কিছুতেই কাটে না। হাড় কাঁপানো ঠান্ডায় ভোরের কুয়াশা ভেদ করে তাদের ঘুম ভাঙে। অনেকের ঘরে নেই পর্যাপ্ত শীতবস্ত্র, নেই গরম কাপড়, ছেঁড়া কম্বলেই কাটে রাত। ঠান্ডায় কাঁপতে কাঁপতে রাত পার করলেও সকালে বিশ্রামের সুযোগ নেই।

কারণ তারা দিন আনে দিন খায়। একদিন কাজ না করলে সেই দিন চুলায় আগুন জ্বলে না, হাঁড়িতে ভাত ওঠে না। শীতের চেয়েও ভয়ংকর হয়ে ওঠে…

SALT Magic: The Journey of Bhatpara Basa Line's Collective Vision

In the heart of Bhatpara Basa Line, a vibrant community session unfolded to dive deeper into the village's shared aspirations. Using the SALT (Stimulate, Appreciate, Listen, Transfer) approach, we facilitated open conversations that bridged generations and genders. What emerged was a tapestry of hope, small wins, and collective resolve—though not without hurdles like men's early exits for irrigation work. This session wasn't just talk; it revealed how everyday stories fuel real…

নতুন বছরের ০৫ তারিখের ১ম সোমবার হিজলিপাড়াতে ছিল বছরের ১ম গল্পের আসর। ৩:৩০ এ গিয়ে দেখি সকলেই আসরের জন্য জড়ো হয়েছে। এমন মুহূর্তে আমাকে দেখে সুফিয়া কাকি এবং জাফর কাকা দুজনে রাগারাগি শুরু করে। কনকনে তীব্র শীতে কেন আমি বাড়ি থেকে বের হয়েছি? গল্পের আসর তো আমরা নিজেরাই করে ফেলতাম। এটা এখন আমরা ভুলি না। এ কথা বলতে বলতে তড়িঘড়ি করে…
