Sabina becomes youth ambassador
Bangladesh women’s football team captain Sabina Khatun has been made the youth ambassador of the Suchana Programme organised by Save The Children, who look to inspire the deprived adolescents in Sylhet and Molvibazar.
“We have been working with the people battling with malnutrition in Sylhet and Molvibazar, where there is over one lakh adolescents. We want to present Sabina Khatun to those minors as a role model to show them how far a woman like Sabina can go and how any woman can be successful in their own right just like Sabina. We are initially sighing her on a one year and expect to extend the contract till the end of this Suchana programme in 2022,” said the head of the Suchana Programme, Dr. Sheikh Shahed Rahman, at a press conference at the Bangladesh Football Federation house yesterday.
“We will present Sabina in different programmes in Sylhet and Molvibazar, where she will share her experience, thoughts, the challenges she faced to come to this far and her contributions to the nation. We believes her presence will inspire those deprived adolescents,” said senior officer Sheikh Ali Haider Azam.
“I want to thank Save the Children for giving me such an opportunity. I believe I will learn something new and work attentively with those adolescents. I also think becoming youth ambassador will also inspire other footballers to take my position in the future,” said Sabina, who will also get some financial benefits from the Sunchana Programme.
BFF women’s committee chairman Mahfuza Akter Kiran, BFF general secretary Abun Nayeem Shohag and Suchana Programme project director Arif Hossain were, among others, present on the occasion.
