CropKids Episode 1: Sharaban Tahura's Farming Dream

The first episode of CropKids introduces Sharaban Tahura, a third-grader in Mirpur, Dhaka, who has turned her family's balcony into a green garden.

Dhaka is a city of concrete, dust and noise. Where can children find the smell of soil? Surprisingly, they have found it on roofs, balconies and school grounds, and a handful of city children are newly connecting with farming.
