In the remote village of Cox’s Bazar, as the sun rises, farmer Akhtar Hossain heads to his fields.
Today, he’s harvesting a new crop of golden rice, shimmering like a dream. Across the fields, a sense of renewal and hope spread with every bundle of grain. This rice is more than a crop for Akhtar—it embodies his relentless effort and unwavering spirit.
Akhtar sees this harvest as the culmination of a year’s struggle. While others were consumed by doubt, he believed that a day would come when his fields would shine like gold.
As the gentle breeze sways the stalks like waves, Akhtar desires a fulfilled life—a complete home, a brighter future, and profound respect for the land and labor that sustain him. For him, this new harvest is not just food; it’s hope and his life’s mantra.
