Last year, the members of the Rotary Club of Picton sponsored a young lady in Bangladesh to help teach children in that country who otherwise would never have an opportunity to learn basic reading and writing skills. This is a letter from Kohinoor. Please refer to our website – https://pictonrotary.ca/page/introduction-of-kohinoorakter for her full letter.
Dear Members of the Rotary Club of Picton,
My name is Kohinoor Akter. I attend Amarok Mother School for two hours daily except on the weekends. We study here to develop our reading, writing and mathematical skills and how to teach little children joyfully. We do social work and take good initiatives for our community. Our main goal is to educate ourselves to make us capable of teaching our own & neighborhood children.
We are Muslim and most families living in our slum here in Bangladesh are Muslims too. Amarok mothers maintain a good relationship with our neighbors. Every mother in our school teaches
5 children.
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to develop my learning skills and teaching to children.
With respect,
Kohinoor
