Referring the above mentioned article written by Ashfaq Wares Khan. I have read all the articles written by him. All of his articles were marvellous. Among them, the one on January 3, 2004 attracted me most. Here he focused on 'Kuisbari Children's Home'. I would like to express my views on it. First of all, it is an excellent idea to uphold the hard reality of life before all.

There is a brothel house in Tangail. It is known to all that the inmates' livelihood is earned through prostitution. There is a non-government organisation named 'Sonar Bangla Children's Home' at Kuisbari, 15km away from the main town, lead by SSS (Society for Social Service). Here the authorities gather the children from different brothels. This institution fulfils all kinds of demands and paves the way for a new world of life for them. It makes them educated, self- protective , self-reliant etc. Their income comes from a pond and farm which are located in the residential area and kind-hearted people offer help to them . Anyway, there are many brothel houses in the country. However, it is not impossible to set up a residential building in every place where a brothel house is situated. If the wealthy persons, NGOs and the government extend their helping hands, then we can hope for a golden future as far as these hapless children are concerned.
