A group of students from Barisal University and Govt BM College took the initiative to establish a school that is providing underprivileged children education for free. The school currently has around 70 students, and besides education, children enrolled in the school also receive new dress and food on different occasions from their school. Classes are voluntarily conducted by the 22 founding members whose vision we applaud, and whose determination to make a positive contribution to society, is inspiring. We hope that their example will motivate others to also step forward and make a contribution to our society, especially through education.

Some of the children enrolled in the school are street children, working menial jobs to help support their family. Having come from poor families, they had never before had the opportunity of attending school, despite their willingness to learn. This initiative, however, has helped to fulfil their dream of getting an education. And a very important step these particular teachers have also been taking is counselling guardians to send their children to school as, understandably, some of the parents are compelled to send their children to work, rather than school, due to their difficult economic circumstances. But if the benefits of sending children to school are properly explained to parents, perhaps it can make a big difference in our society's cultural mindset.

We call on the government to help these young individuals with their bold initiative. Given that the school is currently being run in an open space and that the rainy season is approaching, financial support from the government could ensure that it can continue to operate and thrive in the future.
