A school teacher spent 16 years without money!

The Dhaka Times Desk Is it possible to survive the world without money? Never possible. But a school teacher made it possible. He spent 16 years without money!

It is not possible to step out of the house without money. Money runs this world, in a word, it is impossible. But a school teacher spent 15 years without money. The school teacher of Zamarni has not even touched money in the last 16 years. No transaction was done using currency. The 69-year-old German woman's name is Heidemarie Schwarmer. Without using money, how does he survive in this era of strong market economy? This report seeks to answer that question.

According to media sources, the incident happened 22 years ago. Heidmarie moved to Dortmund, Germany with her two children to escape the bitter experience of marriage. The new environment there changes his life and reality. The plight of a large population of refugees in the city deeply distressed Heidemary. And from this grief, a new strange thought suddenly arose in Hydmari's head.

And since then he kept thinking. It occurred to him that the homeless could survive well in society without any form of monetary exchange. And keeping that thought in mind, Hydmari opened a barter shop. In that shop of Houdmari, he started trading not for money, but for goods for goods, services for services, work for work or skills for skills. In that shop, there are various barter arrangements like car services in exchange for old clothes, kitchen appliances or lead items.

The media said, in this way, the bakers also got the opportunity to use their skills and old items in that small shop in Hydmary. However, it was not an easy start for Hydmeri, but the Asylum had to gain some momentum early on to gain credibility. At first, the homeless did not want to believe that such an educated middle-class woman would understand their true plight.

Haidmari brought a change in life even before opening the 'Give and Take' shop. After arriving in the city of Dortmund, Heidemary initially felt; He has many unnecessary things in his collection. Before buying something new, he used to find happiness in giving away old things. Hydmary never wanted to see his status higher than that of a man who did menial jobs in the kitchen, from washing dishes. And so did work like washing dishes. He was paid hourly for this.

At one point he made a decision. In 1995, it was the first time. He decided not to use currency. After a year, his children also left the city of Dortmund due to the reality of life. After that, he sold his apartment and started implementing the whole decision. And since then Hydmari has kept himself completely away from the use of currency. He did not deviate from the rules and regulations of the 'give and take' shop. He finds his joy in fulfilling the small needs of the members of the shop. Enjoy every moment of life. Not only that, in this age of profit, this humanitarian initiative of Haidmari is a small ray of hope for the dreamers. Desperate to survive, the little people dreamed of escaping from this 'give and take' shop. Haidmari himself was overwhelmed by these. He has survived in this society for 16 long years without exchanging money. He is an example.
