Learning is a continuous process and we all can learn from each other. I love to learn every day from my surroundings, from human, from nature and whatever I can see. I love to share my thoughts & ideas to others.
As a teacher, I am friendly and my methodology is interactive learning. I am a good speaker, writer, story teller. I have so far written and published a number of education materials for children, adolescents and mass people. These materials have been used in different education programs of the NGOs, UNICEF, Save the Children, World Vision and other organizations of Bangladesh. At present, I am engaged in providing education support to the underprivileged and special needs children of Bangladesh. I founded a few schools in remote villages where there is no school.
In addition, I have been working for village women to create income opportunity for them. I am a humanitarian, Global Goodwill Ambassador and making documentary films on various social and humanitarian issues. I visited many countries including India, Middle East, Indonesia, Canada, USA and many more.
