Aloongi after his eye operation yesterday
Spare change saves an eye!
Aloongi, a beautiful child motivator at my NGO needed to have an operation to remove a tumour from his eye socket. Aloongi receives a token amount for his help with our childrens' non formal education classes and is the only income earner in his large family. Essential health services are not free here. Mum left her spare bangladeshi taka behind when she left and what would hardly cover a movie and popcorn in Sydney paid for Aloongi's operation and saved his left eye. Thanks mum.

    It is amazing how little goes such a long way in Bangladesh.
