Happy fall, dear OBAT Family!
Wherever you are, we hope that you are safer and healthier than before and that life has gained some of its spark back.
We are back to let you know how your valuable support is continuing to create a positive impact in the lives of OBAT’s Preschool children. There is no better way to do that than introducing you to one of the children whose future is off to a great start all because of you.
Meet Farah!
“My name is Farha and I live in Jhautala School Camp. I study at OBAT’s Preschool in Chittagong. My dad is a day laborer and my mom stays at home and looks after us. I have two brothers too. They study in grade 4 in OBAT’s Elementary School. My father has to work very hard to take care of us, he is always busy working. When I grow older, I want to help him. I love my brothers and my parents very much.
I love to eat mangoes during summer. My mom makes delicious biryani, a dish made out of rice- I can eat lots of it! I also love to eat ice-cream and play with my football.
When I grow up, I want to become a doctor so that I can take care of my parents. Thank you for helping me study.”
Farha celebrated with her friends on September 12th- A lot of joy was seen on the faces of children at OBAT’s Preschool as it finally opened that day after continuous lockdowns imposed by the government. Children were ecstatic to be back and celebrated with balloons which they took home with them.
