BOOKS TO BANGLADESH
Along the banks of the Meghna River in Bangladesh's ancient capital, groups of formerly nomadic people have survived for decades now without electricity, basic services, or access to schools. Many still live aboard traditional boats. A local NGO, Subornogram Foundation, has begun providing schooling to these forgotten people. Some schools are on modest boats in the river. The Asia Foundation's Books for Asia is helping by providing books—rare and prized possessions—to these students. We’ve launched "Choose a Book. Change a Life," so you can get involved. Cast your vote and select which classic storybook each of the students in Bangladesh will receive. Meet these remarkable schoolchildren of Bangladesh and watch a stunning
short film.
