In northern Bangladesh, just below the Himalayas, there's a school unlike any you've probably seen.

Rather than brick and mortar buildings, these classrooms float.

In most of Bangladesh, the roads are poor and the environment is powerful.

Every year, over a fifth of the country floods, isolating people in small villages and cutting kids off from school.

So a man named Mohammad Rezwan had an idea.

School bus and school house, it picks up students from several pickup points, arranges classes, and again, drops students at their places.

There are different boats with different purposes.

There are classroom boats, library boats, boats for computers, and even ones for play.

In groups of 30, kids aged six to 10 attend classes covering the main points of early childhood education.

The children learn Bengali, English, math, drawing.

This school has solar power to run computers.

It is a place for them to spend quality time and stay.

With millions of children out of school in Bangladesh, these kids are getting a chance that many others don't, a chance to learn and hopefully change their lives.

Our floating school is the only educational option for them.

Without floating school, there is not any other way for them to learn.

The education can lead a better life for these children.

There are millions of people out there who need this kind of intervention.

Someone has to do the work, and in my case, I was the person to do it, but still a long way to go.
