Ema is the youngest of four siblings - she has two older sisters and one brother. The whole family lives in one room, which is very difficult for all of them, but their financial situation does not allow them to do anything else. Mum and eldest sister take care of the household and dad works as a labourer. Ema, her sister and brother are studying in the Tongi programme. Ema is now in the fourth grade. She is a sweet and quiet girl who attends every class diligently and pays close attention. In her free time, she likes to watch TV, play with her friends on the playground or play fishing-themed games. Her favourite flower is the rose and she likes mangoes. She would like to become a doctor but, like her siblings, she needs the help of a generous donor. Without it, she won't be able to finish school.

Hi, my name is Arnab and I'm 10 years old. I was born in Borodam village in Khagrachori district. It is located in the eastern part of Bangladesh, where the landscape is mountainous and forested, but at the same time very beautiful. My family also lives here: my dad Chiji Moni and my mum Protima, with my younger brother Anik, who is only 3 years old. My daddy works as a field worker and my mommy takes care of the household and my little brother. I miss everyone sometimes because I live at the AHTS boarding school and only go home occasionally. I'm in the fifth grade here and I have to say I like it very much. In my spare time I play football with my friends or even cricket, I'm good at that too. I like the colour green and I never turn down rice and vegetables for a meal, I don't always have to have meat. It's great when I can ride in a rickshaw. I'd love to finish school and become a policeman, I'd love that. But my parents can't support me in my studies with the money my dad earns, they don't even have enough money for themselves. It would be great if there was a kind donor who could help me finish my studies.

Hi, I'm Eyong and I'm a student at AHTS boarding school. You would find it in a mountainous area in the southeast of Bangladesh, about 60 km east of the city of Chittagong in the province of the same name. It was founded in 2000. Students can study here up to grade 10. The school grows a variety of fruits and raises fish, and has its own drinking water source. I really like it here, I enjoy languages - Bengali and English - and I am good at sports, playing football and cricket with my friends. I come from Dueprue Para, a village in the remote province of Bandarban, and there is no school, no hospital and no proper road. My family lives there: my parents Net Hai and Tompaw with my elder sister Pawsia and younger brothers Pawsia and Sail. My parents would be very happy if I could continue my studies and education in school, because my dream is to become an entrepreneur and have better living conditions than they have now. But they cannot afford the school fees, so we are hoping for help from a kind donor.
