Thousands of children who live in Bangladesh go to work with the first rays of the sun, even if they would like to sit at their desks and listen to the teachers.
Of course, this doesn’t come from a good life, just many families are looking for an opportunity to earn at least some money for food.
Unfortunately, in this country, child labor is a given.
Of course, changes for the better are happening, but very, very slowly.
Even a journalist-photographer by the name of G.M. could not come to terms with such a situation.
B. Akash, from Dhaka.
The man is 43 years old and for 15 of them he has been actively involved in bringing attention to the plight of the people who live in this country in every way possible.
He spends most of his royalties and income from the sale of photographs and books to help poor families.
Akash found 20 children from the slums of Dhaka, he was able to convince their parents of the importance of education.
They were not allowed to go to work, but to go to school, provided the photographer paid for their education, bought them clothes, books, food and paid an entrance fee.
And also he will have to pay monthly to the families the amount that the children would have earned.
“As one person, you cannot change the world, but you can change the world for one person,” Akash likes to say.
The man accepted everything and has no regrets, because the smiles of the children are worth it!
