Shohag Mondol  

 

Shohag Mondol is studying in class/grade 3. He is a eight year old boy, living in the slum. His family came to Dhaka (capital city) from Sherpur (another district) in 2013 for work.

 

His father is Ashraful Mondol, forty four years old. He is a Rickshaw driver. Thirty eight year old Lebujan is Shohag’s mother. She is a housewife. Shohag and his siblings are six. Two of them are working in a garment factory.

 

Their total family income is about USD 200 per month. It’s a very poor amount for such a big family. They are living in a single room of a tin shed house and water penetrates when it rains. They have to share a toilet among eight families. They use the floor for sleeping; there is no table for his study.

 

Shohag wants to be a policeman. His hobby is singing. He likes studying his text books and cartoon magazines for children. Telling lies he dislikes.

 

Shohag is dreaming to be a policeman, but his family is not able to continue his study. In this reality Shohag needs financial support.
