“I am Md. Hasanuzzaman from Narayanganj. Unfortunately, when I was 2 years old in 1997, I was a victim of an acid attack that severely affected my eyes, mouth, nose, and forehead. Thanks to ASF for providing the medical treatment in which I am now in much better physical condition than before.

ASF has also provided me with several trainings on professional and life skills, encompassing areas such as Computer Literacy, Leadership Development, Gender Issues, and Mental Health and educational support when I was continuing my under-graduation. Presently, I am proficient in handling routine office tasks and utilizing the Internet effectively.

Following graduation, I faced a prolonged job search period. During this challenging time, ASF offered me a position as a Data Entry Operator on May 23, 2023, when I was in dire need of employment. I will always be thankful to ASF for their unwavering support during times of difficulty and I am trying to consistently deliver top-notch service.

Upon joining ASF, I reached out to over 960 survivors throughout Bangladesh over phone and face-to-face conversations who shared similar experiences to mine. In my role as a data entry operator tasked with gathering data on acid and other burn survivors, I have actively interacted with individuals, acquiring essential information & knowledge about their profile, struggles, needs, and beyond. Moreover, through listening to their narratives of resilience, I have been able to exchange my own experiences. Working with survivors has been a rewarding experience for me.

During my time at ASF, I have acquired knowledge on office culture, values, and manners, undergone counseling, enhanced discipline, upgraded my computer skills, gained insights into various information domains, learned about the service delivery processes, and explored other related areas. ASF has been instrumental in boosting my mental resilience and motivation for work, inspiring me to pursue new aspirations. The valuable experience gained at ASF will greatly benefit my future career endeavors. Once again, I am deeply grateful to ASF for offering me this opportunity to work and grow.”

Your contribution can be preventing acid attacks and helping the survivors live life with peace, happiness, and dignity.
