চরবিন পাড়া কমিউনিটিতে আমি যখন প্রথমবার গ্রুপ SALT সেশন পরিচালনা করতে যাই, তখন সেখানে কিছু নারী উপস্থিত ছিলেন। সেশন চলাকালীন আমি তাদের কাছে জানতে চাইলাম, “আপনাদের কমিউনিটির সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ সমস্যা বা প্রয়োজন কী?” তারা নিজেদের মধ্যে আলোচনা করে জানালেন, “আমাদের কমিউনিটিতে যদি ছোট বাচ্চাদের জন্য একটি স্কুল থাকতো, তাহলে আমাদের জন্য খুব উপকার হতো।” তাদের এই…

‎‎চরবিন পাড়া কমিউনিটির কথা বললে এখন অনেকেই একটি নাম উচ্চারণ করেন, ‘জাগরণ’।

‎একটি দল, যেখানে বিশজন কিশোর-কিশোরী একসাথে স্বপ্ন দেখে, সাহস নিয়ে কাজ করে, আর সমাজে পরিবর্তনের বাতাস বইয়ে দেয়। তারা শুধু একটি ইয়ুথ টিম নয়, তারা এক নতুন প্রজন্মের প্রতিনিধি, যাদের হাত ধরে চরবিন পাড়া ধীরে ধীরে জেগে উঠছে অন্ধকার থেকে আলোয়। এই ছেলে-মেয়েরা কেউ বড় শহরে বেড়ে ওঠেনি।…

‎ Every morning when I pick up my bag, I don’t just set out for an office job—I set out to find life stories, to find human strength, to dream and show. I work as a proud facilitator at Arshirbad Organization, and the SALT process is one of the pioneers of our journey. SALT is not just a method, it is a profound experience of respect, listening, recognition…

I am Sumita Bin, a proud facilitator at Ashirwad Organization. Every day I work with people in the community through the SALT process—listening to their life stories, finding strength, sharing dreams, and thinking together about how they can make positive changes in their lives. Every day is filled with new experiences, but one recent experience has deeply moved me. One woman’s story has touched my heart—Antara Bin. The way she transformed her life through the SALT process is not only…

I am Sumita Bin. As a facilitator of the Ashirbad Organization, I regularly listen to and know the stories of people's lives through the SALT process in the community, and try to encourage them. However, recently, I spoke to Sambhu Sarkar in the Charbin Para community, and his story inspired me anew. Sambhu Sarkar is 80 years old. He used to work, but for the past five years, he has been living a retired life. He has four daughters and a son. The daughters are married, they are in separate…
