Chocolate business in Dhaka University campus

Rihad with chocolate


Dhaka , Bangladesh : At last Saturday, I was eating under the shadow (Canteen) of Dhaka University campus. Suddenly a very little boy named ‘Rihad’ came to me silently as usual with some chocolates. I gave him Tk.2 and observed what he does with this money. I saw that he directly went to his mother who was sitting far from the shadow (Canteen).He gave the money to his mother and his mother deposited the money in her Shari.

I went to the mother of this little boy and asked about her business. She said, “I am suitable for job but I can not get any job. I have two boys and both of them sell chocolates in the university campus. I purchase some packets of chocolate and sell the chocolates individually by my children. This business is quite profitable. Sometimes students do not take chocolate but pay money to my sweet children. I continuously change my place and sell chocolate in the whole campus by my children. Students do not see me because I sit far from the place where my children sell chocolate”.
