It was very difficult for the mother alone to support the food and education expenses of so many people in the family. In this condition it became difficult to carry out my studies. I got a sewing machine today after completing sewing training from Ansar Bahini. Now besides helping my mother by sewing, I can continue to pay for my own education. I thank the Ansar forces.
