Street child became development worker in Banglade
6th May 2009 |
http://www.1we.com As a Bengali boy of five or six years old he ran away from home. He ended up on the street for nearly two years where he learned to fend for himself as a street child. After he was adopted by a Dutch couple he vowed to one day open his own orphanage in his home country. Today Motalib Weijters has not one but two orphanages, the Nel and Willem Homes named after his deceased adoptive parents. In addition to this he started a hospital and some other health care projects within his foundation SLOPB, a Dutch initiative with a Bengali flavor. My dream to do something for my country of birth has come true. With relatively few means you can make a huge difference here. Motalib returned, he saw and he conquered.
