​Simon’s success story

15/10/2020

 
Picture
Simon lived in a village in Dinajpur district with his mother Jasmine. Simon, lost his father when he was seven years old. Simon and his mother had a very difficult life suffering hardship and poverty. 
With the assistance of a close relative, Simon's mother applied to the authority of Khulna children village for a residential place for her son to stay and study there. Understanding the dreadful situation of Simon, the BCV authority agreed to let him stay at the Baptist Children village. From an early age, Simon was very calm and got on well with other children. He has a keen interest in his studies and spent lots of time doing his home lessons.

Simon's mother felt more secure with her son in the children's village Khulna, but her pain did not leave, rather the pain was increasing day by day. Because of this Simon's mother got married for the second time, trying to find some peace and security. But regrettably, her husband refused to take care of Simon's upbringing. For this reason, his mother handed complete responsibility of Simon to the children's village. Despite this difficulty, Simon did not give up his desire to do his best.
Sadly Simon became ill contracting tuberculosis and had to be treated at a government service institution in Khulna. Fortunately with the right medicine Simon recovered from the disease with the infinite blessings of the Most Merciful.

Due to financial constraints, he could not go home during some holidays. Even when it was possible to go home he would not go because it would put pressure on his mother.
​
He passed the SSC examination in  2019 by scoring GPA-5 from the science group.

Presently he is studying in the second year of HSC in Sundarbans Adarsha College and he is dreaming that soon he will be able to wipe away his mother's tears by becoming self-supported.
