Gurudaspur representative.
Sitting at home, foreigners are fulfilling all their needs. You are getting money in return for this work. But this money is not the money of the country. Coming in the form of foreign currency. This income from freelancing has changed the fate of unemployed Mostakim Johnny. Prosperity is back home.
Mostakim Johnny is not alone. In Gurudaspur alone, thousands of young people like him are earning hundreds of dollars a month through freelancing at home. Mostakim Johnny’s home is in the village of Nashiarkandi on the border of Gurudaspur.
Mostakim Johnny said that in the beginning, he used to take classes on Microsoft Office applications. But there was no end to the day. That’s why the alternative of income revolves around thinking. During that time he took up new jobs such as graphics design, video editing, web design and development. After that, he started working in the freelancing world in 2016.
Mostakim Johnny has succeeded in entering freelancing. The lack of family has also disappeared. Now meeting the needs of the world, he also provides for his reading and writing expenses from this income. Mostakim Johnny is currently studying at the Hathazari Madrasa in Chittagong in Miska. However, with the help of the government, he wants to build a big institute for freelancing.
Mostakim Johnny’s father Lokman Hossain said he has a family with three sons and a wife. He was a small businessman by profession. Although he has been doing cocarez business in the area, he is not able to do that business now due to his age. But with that limited income, it was difficult for the three sons to read and write and to support the family.
However, Mejha’s son Mostakim studied at Johnny Qawmi Madrasa but started earning money through freelance. Basically, after that, the shortage in the world started to disappear. They are now dependent on Mostakim for freelancing.
