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…

My name is Monisha Das, and I am a proud facilitator of Ashirbad Organization. After a long time, I picked up my pen again today, because amidst the routines of everyday work, some experiences accumulate that make me feel incomplete if I don’t write them down.
Every day, I visit the Harijan Palli community for SALT activities. After entering the area,…

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…

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…

কেমন লাগে যখন একটা কাজ এক কমিউনিটি থেকে আরেকটা কমিউনিটিতে ছড়িয়ে পড়ে? এক কমিউনিটির কাজ আরেক কমিউনিটিকে অনুপ্রেরণা জোগায়? ঠিক তেমন একটি কাজ ছড়িয়ে পড়ার গল্প আজ শেয়ার করবো আপনাদের সাথে।
আপনারা জানেন আমাদের হিজলিপাড়ার দাদ-দাদিরা অনেক আগে থেকেই গল্পের আসর শুরু করেছিল। ৯ ঘর থেকে বেড়ে এই গল্পের আসরে যোগ দেয় ২২ ঘর, মোট ৫৯ জন।

Charbin Para is a geographically isolated community, separated from the nearest town by a river. Nearly three to four thousand people live here, yet one of their most basic rights remains out of reach, access to healthcare. There is no health facility in the community, no designated place for vaccination. Whenever someone falls ill, or when a child needs…

The afternoon at Pechakola began quite simply. A few elderly men and some youths sat together in one place. No one had papers in hand, and no one was trying to prove anything. It was merely a space created for speaking and listening.

SALT Conversations are about discovering the strengths, potential, and dreams that lie within people. When we engage in SALT Conversations within communities, we repeatedly observe that people themselves are the greatest resource for their own change. Through this process, we often uncover the remarkable talents of children and adolescents, talents that…

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…

It was a late winter afternoon when we arrived at the home of a woman in a village, Joka area of West Bengal, India where NGO Jeevika is facilitating a community-led process using the SALT approach.

They presented their dream of what their hamlet could look like thirty years from now. Many women said they…

There were no formal ceremonies or outward glitz, there was only our own initiative and a sincere desire to spend time together. At the start of the day, we all took…
