‘Ek Takar Dokan’ a good call
I was overjoyed to learn about a Savar based youth organisation named Chobighor, and its timely initiative to help the needy during such difficult times. As many of the residents in Savar have become unemployed as a result of the shutdown, around 20 university students who are members of Chobighor decided to start an aid programme by selling essential food items such as rice, flour, sugar, baby foods, etc., since the beginning of Ramadan and all for Tk 1 only.
So that the needy don't see the aid as handouts, the members have decided to charge the minimum value instead of offering it for free. I think more young people should come forward in a similar way to help the underprivileged across the country.
