Children get sports equipment at school in Mymensingh

With the aim of encouraging school children to participate in sports and supporting their physical and mental development, Bashundhara Shuvosangho distributed sports equipment at Satisha Poura Government Primary School in Gauripur, Mymensingh on Tuesday.

The items included skipping ropes for girls; footballs, cricket bats and balls for boys; and chess equipment.

Assistant teachers of the school, Zarina Akter, Trishna Pal, and Suraiya Akter; Shuvosangho Gauripur branch General Secretary Md Harun Mia, Assistant General Secretary Mahmuda Akter Lily, Literature Secretary Nur Mohammad Shafi, and members Sohel Rana, Khairul Islam, and Mohammad Naim, were present.

Before the event, students were urged to develop a habit of reading books regularly and stay away from mobile phone addiction. During the school assembly, Bashundhara Shuvosangho Assistant General Secretary Mahmuda Akter Lily led the students in taking an oath to this end.

Zarina Akter said, “There is no alternative to sports for building a healthy and strong generation. Although our school has sports equipment, it is inadequate compared with the number of students. We see various social initiatives of Bashundhara Shuvosangho on social media. Such humanitarian activities by the organization will play an important role in the welfare of the country and its people.”
