Mother like Reena


These kids who grew up on a footpath of the capital's Panthapath are lucky enough to have a mother like Reena, a domestic help by profession. The woman came to the capital from Pabna to escape poverty but ended up marrying a homeless man. In this city, there are thousands like Reena but what makes her special is that she wants her children to get education. They go to school and every afternoon sit for study right on the footpath. Their mother sit with them too; she loves to see them read and write. Photo: Shawkat Jamil
