Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by the destruction.In 1998 he founded an organization called Shidhulai.The name means“selfreliance.” The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the country.In 2002, Rezwan began transforming boats into schools.Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students.__22__.The only difference was that they floated on a river.__23__ Today Rezwan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh.About half the boats are used as schools, and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season.In addition to the schools and the temporary housing, there are also a floating technology and training center, a library that allows students to check out books, and a healthcare center.The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology, agriculture, and human rights.
At night the boats provide additional learning opportunities for students and adults.__24__They study using solar lamps that are charged during the day at stations near the river.Special equipment on the boats also projects lessons onto big screens made from sailcloth.People can come down to the riverbank to watch films.In all, these boats help educate close to 90,000 families in Bangladesh.
