Chatlarpar Horizon Foundation

Eight years of social work

Long before there was a foundation, there was work in the village.

Arafat Ul Islam has done social work in Chatlarpar and nearby villages for about eight years. It began with something small: as a boy, he taught village children how to use a computer.
