1.Biggest and most important achievement was being able to now know what I want to do with my life. I always knew the purpose of my life is to give something back to the humanity.

I have been able to create a solid network of people, who are genuinely interested inRead More
I am a simple girl of humble beginnings. From an early age, I have seen a great many sides to our world. I have experienced peace, prosperity, calmness, poverty, violence, and destruction. I was born in Bangladesh and then brought up overseas in New Zealand and Australia. The dichotomy of the world has made me feel that I need to achieve a greater understanding and appreciation of the situations faced by many who are under-privileged, oppressed, and, often, misrepresented.

Rabindra Sangeet and Lalon Geeti are two of my most spiritually connected Bengali Music type. I am no professional, when it comes to singing but singing is something I do to feed my soul to feel connected with myself. It takes me to a place where I am able to take myself away from all the hustle and bustle of life and to a place of absolute peace and zen. Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit Kushtia, the culturalRead More
I recorded the video on 1 March, but due to internet restrictions I was unable to upload it… The link to the song I was playing in my Vlog is below.

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
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
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.

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
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
