As early Eid gifts, popular singer Shwapnil Shojib provided new clothes to 20 street children in his locality in the first week of March, before any case of the coronavirus was reported in the nation. He also distributed clothes among 40 orphaned children in Uttara around the same time. "Being an artiste, it is my responsibility to share my happiness with the less fortunate," he said.

He also compiled two songs together and recorded them.  He shot a music video for it with the street children in the first week of March, before the nationwide shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic began. "I have compiled our National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam's famous song 'O Mon Ramjaner' and Satyajit Ray's 'Aha Ki Ananda'," shared Shojib.

Amjad Hossain arranged the initiative, while Abdullah Mohammad Ahad shot the music video. The song will be released on the official YouTube channel of Anwar Azad Films on the occasion of Eid-Ul-Fitr. Shojib expressed his gratitude to Anwar Azad, the owner of the company, for helping him with such a good cause.
