The joy of giving

A few days ago, I came across a report in this daily titled, "A beggar's love for the destitute" and I was immensely inspired by it. It is about Nozim Uddin, a 70-year-old beggar in Sherpur who donated his three-year savings worth Tk 10,000 to a relief fund in order to support the poor during the crisis caused by the countrywide shutdown. 

The generosity displayed by Nozim Uddin proves that one does not need to be affluent to contribute to society, all it takes is a big heart. Taking inspiration from him, I believe we should all come forward to assist the people whose lives have been turned upside down during the ongoing pandemic. And if a good number of people come forward to help the impoverished, a sense of solidarity will prevail in our society which will be a ray of hope for us all.
