Major Achievements Munira who is 03 years old is the special (disable) baby girl of Phulki‟s day care center of Savar area. She could not able to say any word. She speaks only some meaningless words. She is the daughter of Ms.Shuktara Begum, who is an employee of TESCO factory Aman Design & Graphics. She is a very skilled worker in the factory but only be-cause of her special (disable) baby she was worried about the safety of her child. Her older baby girl is only 10 years old, So there was no one in her family to look after her children. Her husband is drug addicted. He is
not living with his family.

After joining the day care center Munira„s condition quite better than past. Now she plays with other children and stay happily. Her mother is so happy and secured about her baby.
