Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina took over the responsibility of the 11-year-old Rabbi, who works at the canteen of the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital. Rabbi’s father passed away, and the boy told the PM that he wants to go to school, reports UNB.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday received eye treatment at the National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital, buying a Tk 10 ticket like other patients. While leaving the hospital, she exchanged pleasantries with the patients and their relatives, as well as the doctors, nurses, and employees of the hospital.
During this time, the Prime Minister saw a little Rabbi standing in the middle of the crowd. She went up to him and asked him what he does, with whom he came to the hospital, and which grade he was currently studying.
The 11-year-old said he works at the canteen of the National Eye Hospital and lives there as well. His father is dead. He studied up to class two before joining the canteen.
The child told the Prime Minister, "I want to go back to my mother in Chandpur. I want to resume my studies.”
The Prime Minister was visibly emotional when she heard Rabbi's story. She took over the responsibility of his educational expenses and gave necessary instructions to concerned officials to take action in this regard and implement it properly.
