The “Sherpur Project” is the brainchild of Dr. Molla Fazlul Huq who lived in Sherpur as a child of an
immigrant
family in the early fifties. He graduated from DJ High School in 1953 and left Sherpur for higher studies.
He
wanted to give back to the community that once supported him and his family. The goal of this project is to
educate the underprivileged students so that they have an opportunity for fair competition. The objective
could
be achieved if these kids are well versed in English, savvy user of the internet, and dominates technology
well.
To achieve these goals he facilitated Computer labs, Smart Classrooms, and the internet in schools, and
facilitated training for the teachers and for the students. The project is implemented by a US-based
nonprofit
CLP through its Dhaka partner Dnet. So far 8 schools, 5 high schools and 3 primary schools, joined this
project.
Sherpur Project is making commendable advances in introducing digital literacy training and technology-aided
education programs in school in Sherpur town, district of Bogura, Bangladesh. English is taught via distance
teaching from the USA. Dr. Molla pulled his personal resources and raised funds from relatives, friends, and
his
community.
