How one homeless child inspired this Bangladeshi to help hundreds

At 21, Korvi Rakshand had to turn away from a little girl who asked for his help, that led him to start his country's most innovative education NGO

It was a day playing with plastic bottles that changed Korvi Rakshand's life. Named one of 10 inspirational Bangladeshis last year, Rakshand was born to a wealthy family. But he turned his back on money and for the past eight years has been running an NGO in one of Dhaka's biggest slums.

He talks freely about the moment that changed everything for him. While travelling around the country at the age of 21, Rakshand met a group of children who were collecting bottles to sell and ended up spending the day with them.
