A 19-year-old seamstress who survived for 17 days in the rubble of a collapsed garment factory building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, left the hospital yesterday with a new job at an international hotel chain.
Reshma Begum had vowed never again to work in a garment factory after she was rescued from the wreckage of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where 1,129 people were killed in April in the world's worst garment industry disaster.
Begum, whose tale of survival in a wide pocket beneath the debris has made her a celebrity in Bangladesh, fielded job offers from many companies before accepting work at the Westin Hotel in Dhaka, said Major General Chowdhury Hasan Suhrawardy, the local military chief overseeing her care. The Westin's manager, Azim Shah, said Begum would work in the housekeeping department as a "Public Area Ambassador." Hotel officials said she would talk to guests, but they did not elaborate on her responsibilities.
Authorities at the military hospital where she was treated said she had recovered fully.
