The light of Bangladesh.

This is Jessore, a southern village of Bangladesh. In the rural areas, many children still lack access to proper classrooms. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of students dropped out of school. This photograph captures a powerful moment—a beacon of change. A newly established school, born from the compassion of a foreign student, now stands as a sanctuary of learning. At its heart is a child, stepping into her very first day of class. Guided by a confident, empowered woman teacher, she is not just receiving an education—she is being handed the tools to transform her future. And like her, there are millions of children across Bangladesh—fragile yet full of promise, like clay birds waiting to take flight. Today’s clay bird will be tomorrow’s leader, innovator, and changemaker. This is the power of education. This is the power of belief. This is the power of one act of kindness igniting a thousand dreams.
