DHAKA: A popular restaurant owner is raising money to realise his vision of a better life for people in the country he spent his childhood in.

Abdul Salique owns the Spice of Life restaurant, in Wellowgate, Grimsby.

However, he spent the first nine years of his life in Bangladesh – something he will never forget.

That’s why Mr Salique raises money for a different cause every year and tries to visit so that he can see how it benefits people.

It all started in 2010 when he collected clothing for people on the Indian island of Shondip which had been devastated by the Tsunami disaster.

In 2011, he raised enough money to buy rice for 10,000 people in Bangladesh.

In 2013, he is supporting an eye hospital as more than half-a-million people in Bangladesh are blind from cataracts because they’re too poor to pay for the procedure to remove it.
