    Dear sir,
    Bangladesh is my country. In my country 70% people lives under poverty level. Today my country have got several vector created diseases specially malaria and dengue fever due to present humidity and climate change. Recently investigation have proved that flood and water transportation problems have increased diarrhea cases. Climate change can increase it more. Temperature during summer can rise more due to increase in present humidity. These will cause rise in heat stroke and water will increase. For which several health problems will increase. On the other hand diseases like black fever and typhoid can spread and new diseases are becoming more huge in size.
    For which agriculture, food, fuel, water and life specially people health is in danger.

    I am an honest person, that’s why with your help I want to work with climate change along with the government approved organization Association for Agronomy Development(AD).If you want I can provide you the profile of this association.
