Not sure that I’ve ever been so honored to introduce someone as I am right now.

Gac Filipaj is a refugee from the former Yugoslavia. For the past twelve years, he has worked as a janitor for Columbia University.  His job title is “heavy cleaner,” which includes emptying the trash and cleaning the toilets. 

During this time, he worked until 11pm every night during the week.  After his shift concluded, he would start studying.  This weekend, after twelve years of study, Gac graduated from Columbia University with a Classics degree.  Rarely have so many qualities I admire been wrapped up in a single person.

Salma (left), 10 years old. She suffered major acid burns after her family was attacked and acid thrown on them whilst they slept. The reason was a land dispute.

In Bangladesh, acid has been used as a weapon since the mid-1960s. It is usually thrown on the victim’s face or on the body. It is mainly used against women, often when they refuse the sexual advances of men, or an offer of marriage. In recent years it has also been used as a result of land disputes. The Acid Survivors Foundation began helping victims in 1999, and now runs a hospital in Dhaka that provides medical help for the victims. The government has recently made acid attacks punishable by death in an attempt to stop its use. As of yet, no death sentences have been carried out.
