“It seems to me just like a miracle and unbelievable fact that any kind of dream may come into reality as I stand the position I am now.

I had a dream in my childhood to be an important part of the country I live and my parents could raise their heads with dignity. So, I joined the BNCC (Bangladesh National Cadet Corps) with the financial support from OBAT Helpers, Khulna team.

Once my parents insisted me not to continue study due to financial crisis because my father was a barber, and totally refused to afford my study expenses with his very small earning, my SSC-2017 final exam fell into uncertainty.

I was facing this kind of obstacle in Grade-VIII. Then, somehow I connected to OBAT Helpers Khulna project officer Md Humayun Kabir and he convinced to pay my registration fee and encouraged me to go ahead, that OBAT will provide all kinds of financial support in achieving my goal and fulfill the objective which I dreamt earlier.

With the financial support from OBAT, I appeared the SSC-2018 board exam and passed, now I am in my inter 2nd year running in Daulatpur Day-Night college, participated in various social work as a member of OBAT Think Tank Khulna, and also improved my rank day by day by hard-working with BNCC from simple Cadet to CPL and now my rank is CUO (Cadet under officer).

I have so far achieved the 1st prize in firing, 3rd in cultural Dance, 3rd in 3rd Gender performance, runners up in handball competition in BNCC premises”.
