Let work for Street People

Yesterday at afternoon. The sky of Dhaka was cloudy. I was travelling with my wife around the Dhaka City riding in a rickshaw. While the rickshaw turned the Highcourt areas, my wife asked me, where the people will go if rains cats and dog! She is unknown about Dhaka City. I have no answers! In my eyes, like 20 million city dwellers, it was a normal senerio to observe these street people who have no home, they live in the street. How do they live in the street? They know well. I just know, I am poor to realise the lives. I close my eyes for while and find out a little candle to light. Light for the street people. It is possible if we keeps our hand close together. If you have such kind of hand, please extend your supports to this street people. Just burn a light for them.

 

A Poor Villeger Died

In the morning, while I just reached at Office, got a phone call, `the man died in the last late night’. What can I do, a long breath just came out; then I engaged myself in official work (Social Work???). Yesterday at morning, I received this call when the caller said, `A person having a child whose wife died before is getting heart attack. He has no sense. The villegers says, he has paralised. Somebody says, he is gotten by ghost. ETC. ETC. But nobody give him loan to take medical care. Because he is very poor to make re-payment the loan. His child is very younger to make money. So, he is just looking the sufferings of his father. If the man gets medical care, he can alive. But nobody take initiative. I am undone, because I am also poor to help this poor guys. I am feeling very sad.’ I just heard this speech over phone. The phone call came from a rural area of a district. The man died at late night. After receiving the phone call, I just said, he got releif from sufferings. Do we know, how many people died everyday due to lack of medical care. We, who live in urban areas, especially in Dhaka City have not any knowledge about poverty. But everyday, we discuss to reduce/ eradicate poverty. A lot of seminar, workshop, roundtable is being organised; Government formulate policies and policies, commitment come from global leaders. But the reality is: People died due to poverty. There is no option to escape it.
