The Young Hardworking Poor of Rural Bangladesh

The poor aren't lazy. Instead, as I learned very early on in my work here in Bangladesh, the poor are some of the hardest working people on the face of the planet.

In a recent trip to rural Bangladesh, I encountered 30 kids who were forced to choose between going to school and putting food on the table. They are able to study part-time (for two hours each day) because local community members in this rural village pooled their money to form an informal school. The school teacher teaches these children basic English, Bengali, and Math all for a salary of $15 a month.

I look forward to sharing more with the Current.com community!

  • Thanks man :-) I'm still not familiar with the Current.com community so I was a bit puzzled why this video didn't get much traction here. At least it got some attention on YouTube.
