birth to a baby boy, leaving family and friends in bewilderment. Arifa
Sultana, 20, and husband Sumon Biswas welcomed a premature little tot
into the world at Khulna Medical College Hospital, in Bangladesh, on
February 25.
Arifa then returned home to look after her child and began settling into
life as a new mum. But her world changed when she was rushed to
hospital on March 26 again, after her water broke.
She underwent an emergency C-section and delivered twins a short time
later. The little boy and girl are said to be perfectly healthy. She has
returned home again with her new arrivals.
Sumon, a labourer, earns around £53 a month. Arifa is worried they won’t
be able to support the children and doesn’t know how the family “will
manage such a huge responsibility with this little amount”.
Doctors believe she had two wombs and managed to carry children to full term in both of them.
Medical expert Dilip Roy said such cases are incredibly rare. She told
The Tribune: “She didn’t realise she was still pregnant with the
twins. Her waters broke again 26 days after the first baby was born and
she rushed to us.
“The first baby was born from one womb. The two babies born here are
from the other womb. It’s a rare incident. I have seen such a case for
the first time. I had not even heard about such incident before.”
Dad Sumon has vowed to provide a good life for the three new babies. He
told AFP: “It was a miracle from Allah that all of my children are
healthy. I will try my best to keep them happy.”

MY SKILLS AND TALENTS AND THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATION
SKILLS -BAG MAKING USING TWINE
I have acquired skills in bag making which is called TWINE BAG AND PURSES. The bags and purses are made using a special rope called twine. This wine comes in different attractive colors and when skillfully combined in making it, produces designed beautiful bags. The bag designs come in either plain pattern or curly design.
MATERIALS FOR PRODUCTION
The materials needed for the making include, sewing machine, twine rope, measuring tape scissors, etc
THE MARKET FOR THE PRODUCT
The bags are actually produced in small quantities and most times, on demand. The work is not so popular down here in the East unlike the middle belt where it originated from and so, I do have a monopoly over its production and so, I supply the small quantity produced on demand in my immediate environment and sometimes go beyond.
MY TALENT
I actually discovered the innate ability and natural inclination as well as love and joy for teaching in my early teenage age. This special ability has made found myself organizing lessons for school pupils, extra moral classes for both junior and senior secondary student as well as other platform.
The passion for teaching has not limited me to the circular world of teaching but also evident in my participation in my religious circle as a Sunday school teacher at my place of worship.
ECONOMIC IMPLICATION OF MY SKILLS AND TALENT
In our world today, depending on one source or stream of income will only lead to what is called THE RAT RACE as described by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter in the book RICH DAD, POOR DAD. Inclining to my talent, I have the ambition to become a lecturer as well as become an entrepreneur.
Immediately after graduation, I would secure a shop and then get people who are interested in learning this skill, to pay while I spread my tentacles. If the white collar job is available then, it will be combined with my entrepreneurial plans but if not, I will be busy pursuing and expanding my skills.
By being self employed, that will, by implication cut down the dependency ratio on my immediate family thereby reducing consumption, giving room for savings, increasing the volume of credit available for investors in the economy and in turn impacting positively on our GDP.
Secondly, by employing labor, it will reduce the number of unemployed youths on the street, therefore also reducing dependency ratio and enabling them with purchasing power. This will add to the general demand for goods and services. Increased demand will lead to corresponding supply of goods and services which will impact directly on the GDP of the economy.
DEVELOPING THE TALENT AND CARRER
Entrepreneurship require creativity, innovation and this require that I acquire more skills related to this and so, I plan enrolling in entrepreneur skill acquisition and tailoring during my service year, God willing and to further acquire other degrees in order to polish my teaching talent. It is said that when opportunity meet preparation, success is inevitable.
With the combination of my talent and skills already acquired, I don’t see myself being a liability to myself, my family or even my nation at large, this is because most successful and rich people today are entrepreneurs who did not think of what the economy could do for them but what they could do for the betterment of their economy.
