Climate Change impact in Bangladesh

The Member of Parliament (MP) of United Kingdom Greg Clark had visited Bangladesh three years ago for seeing the impact of climate change that are happening in Bangladesh. The amazing information that he had collected during his visit that are really true. And now a days this is common scenario in Bangladesh that sea height are rising and people are getting worried about it. But they are not actually responsible for it.

What will happen when the 20% land of Bangladesh will go under water and the people will start to looking for shelter for their existence? Does people who are responsible for this climate change think about it? We don't know. But the time is going and the storm is coming toward us. So we have to rise our voice, otherwise no way will left. Bangladesh is not responsible for this whole event at all, but why only Bangladesh have to suffer for this reason. Here is an action plan that are produce by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of Peoples republic of Bangladesh. That is "Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan 2009" This action plan is good but Bangladesh alone it's impossible to survive for this plan. When the see height will rise by 2 or 3 feet then 20% of land of southern part of Bangladesh will go under water. Then how the poor and landless people will survive? It's the question to modern industrialized society who are greatly responsible for this evil. Here is a documentary on climate change produced by Discovery Channel. The Climate change what you need to know. Just watch this and discover that climate change not only matter of worry for Bangladesh but also for other developed country. But it's true that Bangladesh will be the great victims of it.

Now a days sea water have started to rise in southern part of Bangladesh. And also the impact of Global Warming have started to fall into northern part of Bangladesh. Generally the north Bengle became hotter than other part of Bangladesh when summer starts and became cooler than other part of Bangladesh when Winter starts. and usually summer and winter were stayed there in same portion. But now the scenario have changed summer that means hotter day are becames longer than winter like 6 or 7 month and winter becames shorter than before like 2 or 3 month in  a year. And it's very possible that soon it can be started to snowfall in this part of Bangladesh. Rainfall decreased in north Bengle that's why farmers can't cultivate and grow proper crops in their fields. And for water crisis fish can not be grown in Chalanbil. For Climate change the southern part of Bangladesh will go under water and the northern part of Bangladesh will be desert. That is the reality. For having a better world please help us to fight against this evil cause you know Bangladesh alone can't prevent this evil.

How was your childhood? Can you remember it? Absolutely this picture are knocking you to remembering your childhood again. And that all was so interesting, wan't it? Every memory of our life came into live when we see such a picture like this. Here i am going to write something about our childhood which we spend in our village in Chalanbil(a water land). In Chalanbil(a water land) how child enjoy all over the year just from summer to winter lets discover it. In my early article which was The season in Chalanbil I wrote about the season system in Chalanbil(a water land). So geographically here in Bangladesh we have six season like summer, Monsoon, Autumn, Late Autumn, Winter and Spring. If you a traveler or planing to travel for long time then traveling in Chalanbil(a water land) will be a great idea for you. Person who love nature should once travel in Chalanbil(a water land). Many foreigner come to travel in Bangladesh and sometimes they travel through the major city in Bnagladesh but not in great land Chalanbil cause they sometimes didn't come to know about it for the lake of information. If you are a nature lover and traveler you can't stay in your room after reading this article. Exactly every season is colorful in Chalanbil and people including children they enjoy the color of it. In winter  children enjoy to go to their school and they love to play all day long. They play different kind of game cause that time Chalanbil turn into desert and everywhere in Chalanbil became dried so children enjoy to play at that time. Not only winter rainy season also enjoyable for children. In rainy day playing football and jumping into river is a great game for children. Without obeying parents commands and forbid travelling

randomly throw out the sea-like Bil(water land) and pond and river by banana tree's boat and Dingy Boat is all day long was great experience. Climbing up long tree then jumping into river was general scenario for children. Yes from my life when i was child we had a gang of four of five friends. In rainy season everyday we take our bath in Bil or river or in any pond and during our bath we did something special  like we go to our school, all friends together climb up top of the school building and then from there we jumped into the pond or we were gone under any high tree which was situated near any pond or Bil or river then we climbed up to the tree's head and after reaching the top of that tree we jump into the pond or to the river really these all was incredible moment of my life I still can't forgot it. And in every afternoon we played football in our school field but if the school field were flooded then we played football in other place like any paddy field or road side. After playing for long time in wet and dirty land we had got tired and dirty. And finally for clearing our-self we were again gone into the river for taking bath all together for long time again, After finishing we returned to our home. And everyday when drops of rain began to fall into the field none can stop us from getting wet with rain water. Our childhood were so naughty and enjoyable that it always makes me happy when i remember it. When irrigation started

then all day long people worked in field. And that was one of the great season when we enjoyed summer heat. During irrigation those five or six month in Chalanbil usually it seemed very hot, And in winter the north part of Bangladesh became so cooler when winter start.

And again it usually became so hotter when summer start, perhaps the reason is the north Bengle is near to Himaloy(Freeze water Hill) which situated between India and Nepal that's why usually when winter start then north Bengle became so cooler. The Lalpur, a Upazila of Natore is the hottest place in Bangladesh that usually means that  whole north Bengle became hotter than the other part of Bangladesh in summer season. The cause is that in summer season all the river of north bengle began to dry and they got dried. After turning everywhere into desert there then start crisis for water that usually doesn't happen in other part of Bangladesh..That what happen in other area is Arsenic problem but in north bengle arsenic is not always the matter of worry. And if water crisis happen in other area besides Chalanbil then the crisis couldn't became the reason of worry like what happened in north part of Bangladesh. But now our government trying hard to solve the problem and it's almost solved. However these all was enjoyable. Summer, hot, winter, cold everything was enjoyable in Chalanbil. Flying kite walking alone to the street during was one of the most enjoyable things to me. In Chalanbil when irrigation almost finished then kite flying season was started that all was incredible memory for my life. All the children from different village they gathered together with their kite in hand and thrown it kite into the sky. When all the kite started to fly in the sky that seems so good and incredible. Thus we have passed our childhood in my own village in Chalanbil. And really when I remember these kinds of memories it's makes me feel happy but when the imaginary session over then i came into the real life and realize that how enjoyable was that days!!!

Boat School an Education revolution in Chalanbil

Student are getting Technology education from boat school

Boat school I think this concept is new, not only new it's really a great concept. Close your eyes and think for one time that in Bangladesh like a poor developing country who can show this courage to implement this concept? Student need not to go to school, school will come to student. He is Md. Rezwan he is the owner of Shidhulai Shawnirvar Shangstha (SSS). And he established Boat school in Chalanbil by that organization.Why i am writing this article, cause once I was a student of Boat school. And I know how effective this concept that school will come to student. Why school will come to student we will discuss it down to the article. Here i am going to tell you my experience  being student of  boat school from my study life in boat school. Ok Let's start. In 2004 I was in high school and studying in class 6. Before 2000(A.D) in Bangladesh the concept of computer was rare and actually most of the people they didn't know about it and those who know about it he thought that computer is very costly and it's hard to learn. It's our fortune that we had some curious young boys who had passion for computer and among them I think Rezwan was one. However, when i was in class six in 2004 then Boat school were came to our Ghat(A place of river bank where boat school stopped).
Everyday when i was going i noticed that boat school are stayed in that Ghat. And one question always occurred in my mind that what happen inside that boat. I was always curious for knowing why they come here in our Ghat. I was really curious about that school. One day when I was coming back to my home from school. I saw that Boat school are there in our Ghat. Then I was thinking that I should go there. From my curiosity I had gone near to that school and try to see inside that school.  And I became wondered that a small boy operating computer. Seeing this I became amazed and just keep it continuing to see. Then the computer trainer madam come out to the boat and request me to enter that school. Despite hesitation to enter, I entered that school, and seriously I discovered a new world or revelation in my area (Chalanbil). What an idea established by Mr. Rezwan!!! In the min time i discovered that inside that school there are two section One is Library section and another is Computer training section. And frankly that day in 2004 I first operate a computer. It was really incredible moment for me. And from then gradually i became a student and fan of Boat school. And now the point should be discuss that why school will come to student without student going to school? 

School are coming to student

Yes it should be discuss. The cause is, in Chalanbil when rainy season began then most of the area of Chalanbil go under the water. Then it's became very hard for student to go to their school and maintain their academic life. It was the first reason to Mr. Rezwan that if he build a platform where student can continue their study during the rainy season. Then it will help their study life. And next two or three reason was. In Chalanbil area here most of the people are farmer and actually student they don't know about advanced technology and they don't have any chance to learn technology. From this thinking Sir Rezwan Build a platform which is boat school. Where student can learn about advance Technology, Computer, Internet etc. He made it possible by setting at lest 8-10 solar panel above every Boat School and then setting 2-3 piece of computer in each and every Boat. Inside the boat there are a huge library and a computer training room. 

Primary Student Studying at Boat School

And from there student get the opportunity to borrow book for a week to study, and learn computer and advance Technology. Sometimes when I was a student of boat school, foreigner come to visit us and learn the activity of that school. They questioned us about that school and wanted to learn about the activity of that school. They became so happy after seeing this that student in this area are getting better Technology education from this School. And finally if they became happy they made a donation for that Organization. You know that that organization was a non-profit organization and all of their effort was free of cost. I think every good work became free of cost. Just imagine about Salman Khan and his Khan Academny, Jemmy Wales and his great contribution Wikipedia all that great effort are free. So here is the great contribution that made by a Curious person Mr. Rezwan is Shidhulai Sawnirvar Shangstha.  That was really great. Till now I missed the day i spend in that school.

Here is a video an American Interviewing a Student of Boat School. He asking the student about this school

Video Conferencing in Boat school

Besides spreading Technology and great education light Shidhulai Shawnirvar Shangstha (SSS) Operate many different operation like, arising consciousness about child marriage, operating campaign for saving the river. and particularly they trained farmer in Chalanbil. And besides giving training they also supply good seeds for our farmer and tell them how to cultivate well. And the very amazing thing is that all the effort of this organization is Free. And for this social welfare effort of this organization they got award from UN(United Nation) and featured in thousands of media local and International including BBC CNN .  And they also awarded from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for their effort. I love this organization I love this Boat till after leaving Boat school I didn't seen any advanced school  like this school.
