Progress Report – October ’18

TCD Change Our Family

I am  Niloy Malo, member of Lotus TCD(Transformational Community Development) group at Ghoraghat, Dinajpur district, Bangladesh. I read in grade seven. We are two brothers and sister. We do not have land for vegetable cultivation. My parents are working a small work in this village. We have 5 members in our family. Before join my family with TCD we were very poor. I saw everyday my parents do lot of quarrel. But after having teaching of TCD my parent’s attitude changed and we are having peaceful situation our families.  I am taught many subjects which helped in my education. I have learned how to take care and keep good health from TCD groups.

There is some uncultivated land near hour house which is belongs to our neighbors.  I helped my father to plant papaya tree and vegetable garden in that land near our house. After few months the papaya tree grow-up and have flower and fruits.

Now our family do not need to buy vegetable from market, also I distribute to our neighbors. We get vitamin, mineral and others which we need. I give thanks to TCD group for given me a wonderful opportunity to learn and utilize in my life.

My family also taking all decision together. Before we took loan from micro credit but now we start small savings.

AMMODI’S PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

My name is Ammodi I am 12 years old. My school is Unanvitiya, I am in grade 7. My parents work on paddy fields. They are paid daily for the work they do. When there is no work on paddy fields they work part time on tea and rubber estates as labors.

They come home with soiled cloths dobbed with mud as they work in the fields; they are so tired that they have to rest for a few hours before they take a wash. I have to prepare the tea and night meal. I feel so sorry to know they get so tired to give me a good education so that I will not do the same job that they do, that’s what they tell me.

This made me think of my future plans. I have decided to be a teacher. As teachers get a lot of holidays they are always dressed up and enjoy their work with the children. They are respected my children and parents.

I was told that dreams come true, for me plans also definitely work if you apply yourself. Thank you GHNI for being a part of my plan, opening up a tutoring centre in our village. I can now make my plans come true.

I need your immediate financial help.  Disaster Relief(DR), and DR Training are intricate in GHNI.  Many of our current TCD model villages, were begun, springing from a DR situation in that given country.

Mike Parks(right in photo), is a great friend of mine and heads up the DR segment within GHNI.  He is doing his next DR Training and Response in Hawaii, training and assisting via the Kilauea Volcano.  It’s an excellent location to train and then follow-up immediately in assisting local pockets of current need.

Bryan, my son, has wanted to be with me on one of my trips, for years now.  He has volunteered for this trip, and is already fully funded via a GoFundMe site.  I am excited to be with him, as a son-dad duo, on this DR venture!

Will you please join me in my urgent financial needs for this trip?  This trip, alone,  still needs $ 1,400.  Gifts of donation can be made at:   http://www.globalhopenetwork.org/us/about/staff/daniel-emig

Funding will also help provide for next trips to Serbia and Armenia.  We will follow-up with post-trip news after we’re back.  Deep thanks to you who support this and so many other endeavors you/we partake of around the globe.  Grateful … Daniel
