Story of change (a successful learner/graduate)

I am Sree Kolpona Patro. I have an impairment in my leg since birth. I was born into a poor family in Sylhet and have a sister. My father is a mason and my mother looks after our family. I could study till grade VII but could not continue because of poverty. Our neighbors had always looked down upon me and I did not have any friends because I have an impairment and I felt belittled further when I had to stop my studies. One day I noticed an advertise- ment through a leaﬂet about admission in UCEP Bangladesh’s technical school in Sylhet in the Industrial Electrical Maintenance trade. I got admission and completed the course successfully. After certiﬁcation, the Job Placement team of UCEP Bangladesh -mSylhet Region provided me a job at Hobigong Industrial Park (HIP) as an Assistant Electri- cian (Maintenance). I have started with a salary of about US $ 100 and am very happy. My employer is pleased with my work and sincerity and my family is very proud of me. I have now become a role model in the community and neighbors who ignored me earli- er shows me as an example of success to their children.
