March 25, Sreemangal, Bangladesh: Another day of accomplishment by committed Rotary Club of Dhaka and local volunteers led by SKD Chair, Rtn. Sheikh Nahar Mahmud. 2,817 children reached, 183 to go….
The Sreemangal Zone distribution was originally planned for two days. However, due to the favorable on-ground situation, we were able to finish distribution of 240 bed kits in one day. Credit goes to all inspiring and dedicated volunteers.
Rain occurs all the time here. Nature has adorned Sreemangal with green trees. Its natural scenery is very charming. It soothes one’s eyes. Birds are twittering always here. The terraced tea gardens, plantations and evergreen hills of Sreemangal are wonderful treats for the tourists.
However, historically
the tea garden workers are from a small minority group both in terms of ethnicity and religion, and are economically very
deprived. We have purposefully selected 240 children from this tea workers
community and distributed 240 bedkits.
Children were selected by the school teachers in
consultation with village heads popularly known as “Panchaiyats” or village
headmen.
Prior to Sreemangal we also attended two small camps at Dhaka and distributed 77 bed kits. Out of 300 bed kits for Dhaka, so far we have distributed 117; distribution of the remaining 183 will be completed soon to reach the magic number of 3,000!!!
