‘We came to work at 7 am. Because of working continually, we do not usually notice when it becomes dark outside. We work in darkness, under the yellow bulb light, sunlight does not enter in our factory. Sometimes when electricity goes out, we can go outside, but now we do not like to play anymore. We feel tired. Telling you the truth, we become very hungry at 3 pm, but rice is expensive. Our income is 1000 taka per month, how can we spend for rice? We enjoy this free bread in lunch time, when you are hungry everything is delicious. We do not feel full after having it though. But after return to home at late evening, mother will give yummy hot rice with mash potato! It’s good for poor people to eat once a day. Please take a bread sir, it is not that bad’ – Ador, Shohag
