We are thrilled to announce that BRAC, the world’s largest non-profit organization, has reached out to incorporate our book ‘My Name is Runa’ into their curriculum.

As part of this collaboration, we recently conducted a comprehensive training on inclusive education—both online and in-person—for over 40 participants from various BRAC education programs. The training covered key topics such as “What is a disability?”, “Who has a disability?”, “How do you know?”, and “Is it important to know?” Through a mix of individual and group activities, short videos, and other visual aids, participants explored the importance of creating inclusive learning environments.

A major focus of the session was the need for inclusive children’s books. BRAC has already taken important steps by including children with disabilities in their schools. Since BRAC schools are eventually integrated into the national education system under the Ministry of Education, the potential impact of this initiative is significant—and may continue to grow over time.

Children, by nature, are curious, open-minded, and adaptable. Introducing inclusive values early helps them embrace diversity and can shape them into advocates for empathy and social change as they grow.

Through this partnership, students in 6,190 BRAC schools will meet Runa and learn about her life—spreading the message of inclusion to thousands of young learners.
