Aim of this writing: To give information about EDS, to avoid confusion about EDS and to motivate others to take positive action.
I, Hafizur Rahman, have been working for children's education since I was about 14 years old. In 2005 Md Alamin, Trine Lund and I have started an education program named EDS. EDS based on action learning (children make plan, take action and reflect on results) and volunteerism. EDS is for children and run by children. EDS dont receive economic help from others, its not a NGO.
Objectives:
1. To develop children as a positive change agents through education
2. To develop feelings inside people so they can help each other to get/give education
3. To make safe class room, road and home for children and make learning interesting/fun
4. To make link between Norwegian students and EDS students (they can learn from each other)
5. To conduct research on education: improving education system
Fund: EDS is not a NGO, EDS don't receive money from others. I use my major parts of savings to run EDS.
Why do I use my own money for EDS?
I have got a lot from Bangladesh and Norway, trying to back something to the society. Every children have right to get education. I know how hard for poor children to get education. I dont want to see that someone is suffering like me.
Results of EDS:
EDS has given education to 1000 children, more than 80 students are studying in different universities (many of them did not think to complete grade 8, many were child labor). One of my first student (was student of grade 8) has completed MBA and living in Australia for higher study.
We started with 20 students in 2005 (organized way). Now EDS has 300 students from grade 1-12. We have 50 volunteers from Khulna University of Engineering and Technology; and Khulna University; and many international volunteers.
