Supporting Young Girls in Bangladesh.
The interesting thing about doing anything in Banagladesh, maybe Narayanganj in particular, is that you have to know someone that knows someone to get stuff done. I could not have even imagined taking on this project if the people, family, friends and neighbours, weren't as kind and willing to help. This week a lot of emails, phone calls and brain storming has taken place.
I plan to directly work with the students, teach English, in both the public and private sector to try to help them to create their own womens networks with the schools. Their activities will be funded by the local charity but skills on gaining sponsors, meeting people and networking will be taught too.
I can't wait to get started!
Currently studying Materials Science at Imperial College.
I have a strong passion for helping my local community in Bangladesh. While I may have not been born or raised there, I think this is a really good opportunity to understand what vulenerable communities face and what I can do to support them.
