RM awardee Rakshand: A room full of dreamsMANILA, Philippines — In a small, bare classroom in Bangladesh, something extraordinary was taking shape with just a piece of carpet, a whiteboard and 17 children. “When we started, you can’t even call it the classroom,” Korvi Rakshand said of the start of his unusual school. Recognizing the importance of the English language in a country where many sought employment abroad, he initiated English language classes for children. Rakshand’s English classes did not merely impart language skills; they ignited dreams of a school within the young learners. “The program is to equip young students to be competitive, to be part of the workforce in this growing industry,” Rakshand said.
