Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices
- π§π© Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh

My trade is shoemaking. I opened my own shop in 1997 in Gazipur and I'm still there most mornings.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I answer every message, eventually.

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
