Bangladesh 2022: Crossing the finish line!

Dhaka, Bangladesh: Another day of superb achievement by committed Rotary Club of Dhaka volunteers, led by SKD Chair, Rtn. Sheikh Nahar Mahmud. We have reached the magic number of 3,000 bedkits handed out, and completed the distribution.

April 10th has been the most satisfying day for all active volunteers of the Rotary Club of Dhaka. On that day, we had our final distribution camp at one of our deserving areas in a place called Raja Bazar, where most of the school children are from surrounding low-income families. Our team distributed 105 bedkits in this camp, and with that we reached the finish line of 3,000 bedkits!!!



Prior to this we had another two camps at Dhaka; one of them was at an orphanage for girls or children picked up from streets. It was quite heartening to see blissful smiles from all of them and the scenario touched each and every volunteer of the day.

The Uganda Bedkit Distribution is Complete!

The Inner Wheel of Kampala distributed the final 1,000 bedkits to children at two sites in northern Uganda. The rain held off until near the end, and now 3,000 children will enjoy the contents of their new bedkits. There will be sweet dreams tonight and for the future.
