About me

An entrepreneur who is passionate about working towards reforming the education sector of Bangladesh. Throughout my life, I have been driven by my firm belief that every child should have access to high-quality education. From my belief as a young leader, I founded and currently lead Grow Your Reader Foundation – a non-profit organization that works to ensure quality education among children through creative curricula, teachers’ training facilities, and community mobilization projects, including school, mobile, street, and online libraries with 20000 readers across the country.
Before that, I was a Teach For Bangladesh Fellow and completed my Global Girls Education Fellowship from Teach For All as a pioneer cohort. I earned my post-graduate diploma in Education from Brac University. I am an Acumen Bangladesh fellow from the 2022 cohort. I am also selected for the “Top 100 Leaders in Education Award”. I am a young leader at The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust. Recently I have started my new exciting mentorship role as an Award Coordinator of The Duke of Edinburgh Award Program to assist the participants.

Forming Communities

Buy a home in pocket neighborhood forming on Cape Cod MA

I envision the creation of a pocket neighborhood in my neighborhood of 30 years. A block of 6 homes share their backyard boundaries. While each house would retain its own lot, the homeowners would enter into an agreement using sociocratic method to manage the land and use of the amenities that each house offers and build personal relationships. An intentional community that wants to have regular meetings to coordinate the care of the acreage, schedule weekly meals to share and to foster contact are initial ideas. There is a possibility of an apartment to offer to a care giver when the event arises. There are 2 houses currently available for sale. I envision the others will come up for sale in the future. This neighborhood offers walk/hiking trails along riverside conservation land, private dirt roads graded by the town, a quiet location, 2 miles to supermarket, cafe, small market, schools are easy to access. Contact me to share your interest and special concerns.
