The Children’s Hope Journal
I dreamed of becoming a doctor
I’m Aysha Akter Turna. I embarked on Children’s Hope (CH) sponsorship program in 2009 when I was in class VII. From my childhood, I had a dream to become a doctor. But I was born in a very poor family and my parents could not send me to an appropriate school. This was until Children’s Hope came to my life, and I soon found hope and confidence to fulfil my dream.
With the help of the comprehensive education program, today I am a medical student at Mymensing Medical College. I live at the medical college campus, this became possible because of the non-residence facility of Children’s Hope Education option, which enabled me to live and study outside home. My family is not able to bear the extra cost of my accommodation and food incurred due to living on site.
In addition to my monthly residential cost, I also receive from Children's Hope the full education expenses as a medical student.
Lubna - Children's Hope sponsorship program also enabled her to secure a placement in a Chartered Accountancy firm KPMG.
Lubna dreamed of being an accountant, but her circumstances made it all feel impossible. Children’s Hope was determined to help Lubna turn her dreams into her reality.
Shahadat Hossain - Children’s Hope found employment for me as Development Officer at a local industry.
No child should have to choose between an education and putting food on the table. Children’s Hope helped to lift that burden off Shahadat’s shoulders.
