Idrish Mollah (name changed) a young man from Muslim camp was suffering last few years. Finally when he visited doctor it was found that he is undergoing the last stage of AIDS. The pressure from the neighbors and fear of the immediate family drove him away from the home. He took shelter under a tree little far from the house and started begging for food.
Taj Ali, Pinki Khatun, Md. Abid and Chandni our ‘Youth Group and Child Parliament’ members came to know and organized themselves with the help of other group members and started counseling the community and their family members. After a few days they could break the misunderstanding about the HIV/AIDS.
Idrish was back in home and received love and care by the same family members till his death. While dying Irish said, ‘because of you I shall have a peaceful death’
