"Rezwan is re-casting rising rivers as channels of communication — and transforming lives along the flood-prone river basins of Bangladesh. Rezwan, an innovative architect and social entrepreneur, is building solar powered floating schools. Replete with Internet connections, they’ve become mobile hubs for hundreds of communities facing the not-so-easy challenge of water taking their land and destroying their livelihoods. Can this soft-spoken inventor overcome both flooding and global indifference? With a concept that is elegant and home-grown, Rezwan is helping his country adapt to the new climate reality — and cultivating the next generation of problem solvers. While some still argue the reality of global warming as a man-made phenomenon, the documentary, Easy Like Water, shows the human face of climate disaster and highlights one simple, affordable adaptation that is changing lives by building a future that floats."

wow!!! This is really a fantastic work what Rezwwan is doing. This is called as real commitment to the society. I would really love to see this project. It's great to accept a challenge like this rather than cribbing & grumbling about what is not there. best luck to you Rezwan.
