That's hello in Bengali

Waiting for 7 months

I'm a 2 year-old boy and I live with my mother and father in Bangladesh.

My birthday is the 26th December.

I love jumping, marbles and ping pong.

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

£32 per month will empower him to overcome poverty
