Dear members of mukto-mona,
Adhunika cordially invites you to the premiere show of `Stories of
Change,' a documentary by Simon and Sara, in New York. The film
travels through rural Bangladesh following the lives of five women
from different professions, backgrounds, and religions. `Stories of
Change' salutes these five brave women for their resilience in the
face of adversities. From a sixteen-year-old spin bowler of the
national women's cricket team to a chief photojournalist of a daily
newspaper, each of these women's stories portrays not only their daily
struggles for survival but also their perseverance to succeed as women.
Proceeds from this screening will go to Adhunika Foundation continuing

Bangladeshi women through the use of technology.
