A day in the life of Fammy…

February 27, 2018 Me!

My alarm went off at 6:15 am. I pressed the snooze button and slept for another half an hour today. My typical morning in Jessore involves making my bed, brushing my teeth, drinking a big glass of water, exercising a little, taking a shower, praying, listening to some smoothing music and singing along while getting dressed for work. I also make a coffee and drink it while getting dressed. Breakfast is usually served between 9 and 9:15 am and brought to me (I amRead More

Planting Onions

February 26, 2018 Life inside Banchte Shekha

I think I mentioned earlier Banchte Shekha is a self sustaining organisation. They grow their own vegetables and fruits, farm their own animals and fishes. So few weeks ago, when Angela mentioned she’s taking the whole crew to their Hoibotpur branch to plant onions I could not resist the offer. I jumped in the van with eleven other staff members and left for Hoibotpur. On our way there I started singing and asked everyone else to join in and beforeRead More

Who am I?

February 19, 2018 Me!

What if I die so suddenly, what is going to happen to all my dreams? Will I ever get to fulfil them? Would anybody ever know about my aspirations, my plans and my wishes? What am I doing here? Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel so lonely? This is what I’ve been wanting to do for years…… It is finally happening, but I’m not myself… Will this feeling ever go? Why do I feel so down?Read More

I had an amazing time celebrating first day of Spring in Jessore… The whole town came to life with spring colours and music and fresh flowers everywhere.. This was my first time celebrating Pohela Falgun in Bangladesh and I absolutely loved it! I am glad I picked this time of the year to come to Bangladesh, because this is the season of festivities. So, my day involved coming to work in the morning and I’ve shared some photos with you.Read More

A story about a little girl

February 8, 2018 Me!

I am Fahmida Suma, and this is my story… I was 16, life was great.. I was a bubbly girl with many aspirations.. I loved singing, painting and hanging out with friends and family. Every moment of my being was to have fun and bring joy to others. All the other parents would use me as an example to their kids and say how friendly and well behaved I was… My parents were really proud of me. My world couldRead More

Limitations…

February 5, 2018 Life inside Banchte Shekha, Me!

I mentioned to you I was going to talk about my limitations. Today is 5th February 2018 and I started working with Banchte Shekha on 1st January 2018. If you ask me what I have achieved since then, well… my biggest achievement so far has been building relationships… I have met so many wonderful people and some of these relationships will continue forever. I am so grateful for that.       I have commenced and conducted a handful of English classesRead More
