Ohê I'm Arko

That's hello in Bengali

Waiting for 10 months

I'm a 4 year-old boy and I live with my mother and father in Bangladesh.

My birthday is the 31st August.

I love playing with dolls and running.

I' m too young to attend school, so I participate in Center Based Compassion programme activities.

£32 per month will empower him to overcome poverty
