In 2017, our founder Dana came to know this remote village through the internet and decided to volunteer at the Mahabodhi Residential School (MBRS). Along with a volunteer, they ran cultural exchange workshops to help bring cultural awareness and built the village’s first library with a total of 162 books. Since then, SOLWW has developed a close connection with the village and has been providing support to the Chakma students at MBRS.
