In this July 28, 2017 photo, Bangladeshi woman Samela Begum, right, cries near the graves of her two sons who drowned in a swamp in May, as her husband Monir Hossain, center, and another person plant a tree at a graveyard in Noyadda village, Keraniganj, near Dhaka, Bangladesh. “All the mothers, my sisters, please, remain alert”, Samela Begum said, weeping. “Please teach your sons to swim, otherwise your laps will become empty like mine”. In an effort to help mothers like Begum, a British charity has partnered with a Bangladeshi research group to offer swimming lessons in this central Bangladeshi farming village for children from poor, rural families.
