Fanatstic work.. …
I think the UK B’deshi population which are largely from this area, could contribute to a fund that assists women and economically challenged individuals in sylhet. This could allow them to get a foothold in business and then excel in thier respective trades with the right backing… Its EASILY doable…. we’re talking about relatively small sums.. £200 loans etc..
Fanatstic work.. keep it up…
