Winter clothes have been distributed among orphaned students through the initiative of Bashundhara Shuvosangho in Lalmai upazila of Cumilla.

Members of the organisation handed over the clothes at Baral Orphanage on Monday morning.

Kaler Kantho’s Lalmai and Cumilla Sadar Dakkhin upazila correspondent Zahirul Islam led the initiative, where Shuvosangho’s Lalmai upazila unit President Mohammad Mofizul Islam Munna and General Secretary Kazi Yakub Ali Nimel, Lalmai Reporters Unity General Secretary Pradip Majumder, and the orphanage teacher, Arman, were present, among others.

Shahadat, a student, expressed his gratitude to Bashundhara Shuvosangho for the humanitarian initiative.

Lalmai Press Club General Secretary Kamal Hossain said Bashundhara Shuvosangho is involved in all charitable activities.

He said, “In particular, the organisation has conducted many seminars on education and healthcare in the upazila. It has encouraged school and madrasa students by providing educational materials. Twenty women were trained and given sewing machines free of cost.

“At the beginning of this winter, the organisation distributed winter clothes to orphans. Hopefully, in future, it will implement programmes with a larger budget for orphaned students.”
