Selim Reza now has a new job ironing clothes in another garment factory, which the owners did not want to be named. He says on the day of the disaster he was afraid like many others and did not want to go up to his floor of the building to work.
"But they threatened all of us. They beat some of us and told us there is nothing to worry about. Nothing will happen. It is just a simple crack."
He spent eight hours under the rubble. After receiving medical treatment he left for his village. He stayed there almost for nine months and started his new job three months ago.
The image on the left hand side shows a young quailty inspector, named Sharmin Akter. She worked for the New Wve Styles Ltd, and was one of the survivours of the Rana Plaza disaster. Sadly, during the collapse her mother did not make it through. She stated; "My entire year went by looking for my mother's body or a tiny piece of evidence that will tell me what happened to her. Sharmin wasn't the only one going through the exact same situation, many others were still looking for their loved one or what was left from them.
