Maharram Ali is 35 years old rickshaw puller living at Bhagolpur village of Bazitpur sub district under Kisoregonj district. His family consists of his wife and four sons.  Maharram Ali's youngest son Tusar who was the apple of his eyes was born with a congenital anomaly on his left leg. Soon after his birth, Maharram Ali took his son to a local doctor who told him that this is a congenital anomaly called “Club foot“ which can be treated through surgery in the nearest medical college hospital. Let alone taking his son to the nearest district town, he did not even afford to go there as the nearest medical college hospital is 120 kilometer from his village. Upon hearing this, he returned home frustrated and disappointed. He almost left the hope of treating his son

Suddenly fate smiled on him.  During harvesting season, Maharram Ali went to the Chamrarghat for seasonal job.   One day, he was working in a rice field with his co-farmers and suddenly one small baby caught his attention. The baby was playing in his mother’s lap. The baby has the same type of deformity as his son has. He approached the mother and asked whether she went anywhere for the treatment of her child. The mother replied" Yes, I took my daughter to "Jibon Tari" which is anchored at Chamrarghat now and they gave me a date for surgery next week ". Upon hearing this, Maharram Ali saw a ray of hope.  Next day morning he went to  "Jibon Tari" at Chamrarghat . But he became disappointed again when he heard that "Jibon Tari" has ended its activities at Chamrarghat and he has to go to next location of "Jibon Tari" if he wants to avail the services. "Jibon Tari" authority gave him a mobile number and told him to communicate after two weeks.

Accordingly, he communicated with out patient organizer of "Jibon Tari" over mobile and he was told to come for admission for surgery of his beloved son Tushar. His joy knew no bounds. 

One day, he along with his beloved son Tusar and his wife went to "Jibon Tari" at Monipura bazaar.  Medical officer of "Jibon Tari" examined his son Tusar and he was admitted for surgery the same day. Medical officer of "Jibon Tari" was also kind enough to allow his wife to stay with   his son in the hospital.

Next day morning, surgery was done on Tushar’s left leg.  After surgery, the visiting orthopedic surgeon from Dhaka assured Maharram Ali that deformity of Tusar's leg will be completely corrected.

Maharram Ali is a very happy man now. His son is free from the curse of disability for the sake of "Jibon Tari".

A woman is warded off husband in all her jeopardy. Be it storm, rain, cyclone or earthquake wife remains impassive burying herself on the warm chest of her husband. But this unmolested life did not last long in Anjumonoara's life when she lost her husband at the tender age of 20 who hails from Manikkathi village at Rahmatpur of Babuganj sub-district under Barisal district.
 

Anjumonoara is now 40. Her husband died of liver cancer in 1984. There was nothing left for her to get her back scratched. She did not inherit anything from her husband to earn her livelihood. The journey of survival began. She went to Dhaka in hopes of escaping misery. Because of being totally devoid of academic track Anjumonoara had to opt for working as a housemaid. She earned a meager amount of money at the cost of untold sufferings.

The days were passing by in great hardship. The situation got worse when she discovered her difficulty in catching sight of distant things. Her vision started getting blurred gradually and she became blind by the middle of 2002. The new phase of suffering began. Even begging was impossible for a visually impaired woman. The cruel reality forced her to return to her home in Manikkathi with nothing left but craving for death.

The fortune smiled on Anjumonoara when she heard about Impact “Jibon Tari” hospital. The gray of hope crossed her mind when she heard from the local people that eye lenses are implanted in to the eye of poor patients at  ‘Jibon Tari’.

She could not bottle up her excitement and approached the eye-doctor in out patient clinic of Jibon Tari- . The doctor examined her and diagnosed her eye problem as cataract. She was admitted in Jibon Tari floating  hospital and her cataract surgery was performed. When her bandage was opened the spectrum of light fell on her face. "I can see, I can see!"

She screamed joyously. She was released and she got back to “Jibon Tari” a month later for another eye operation. Her successful operation on her another eye was performed in due time as suggested by Medical Officer of “Jibon Tari”. She told that she has no problem with her both eyes at all. At present she is working in the spinning mill again.
