My photo story shows mainly children football playing in the middle of the freshly raised sandbanks of the 'Gorai' river after ending the 'World Cup Football' in winter season, Kushtia district, Bangladesh. It is the true ‘Peace’ where children are enjoying it by simply playing football. The river dried due to the global warming.

There was a time when the river was full of water, but from many years this river become less water or dead; it starts from winter and ends to summer-just before starting the monsoon season, due to global warming and the construction of Barrage on the river in neighbouring country. In monsoon when it rains, a lot of water can be seen in the river.

Now the world is restless for war; and people are becoming mechanized for mobile phones and the Internet-most of the people are moving away from real humanity.

So sports can make friendships and bond to different cultural people of the world. Football game is very popular all over the world. Especially ‘World Cup Football’ ties people together and gives the ‘Peace’ the all countries.

During World Cup Football Bangladeshi fans are mainly divided between two fan countries 'Brazil' and 'Argentina'; and there are also country supporters. After the World Cup football match is over the feeling of fondness for it remains in people and they try to play football every day especially children and youth.

Here all children are supported ‘Brazil’ and ‘Argentina’ and they are playing football.
