Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir reached out to over one lakh of orphaned and disadvantaged children across the country with foods on the occasion of his birthday on Tuesday.

Born on January 31, 1981, he obtained higher education from reputed institutions in England and took over as Managing Director of the largest corporate body at the age of 20.

He sent foods for the orphans and madrasah students in Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, Khulna and other parts of the country.

Nearly 65,000 distressed children in Dhaka and adjoining areas were given delicious foods cooked at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka.

In the port city Chattogram, over 20,000 madrasa students and orphans were distributed high-quality foods.

The places include Jamia Ahmadia Sunnia Alia Madrasa, Jamia Mahila Madrasa, Al Amin Baria Kamil Madrasa, Jamia Madania, Misbahul Ulum Madrasa, Sobhania Alia Kamil Madrasa, Wajedia Madrasa, Marqazut Dawah Talimul Quran Madrasa, Dampara Madrasa and Ashekane Awlia Fazil Madrasa, among others.

The madrasa students at that time offered special doa for the good health, long-life and prosperity of Sayem Sobhan Anvir, his family members, the country and the nation.

Foods were also distributed among homeless and distressed people in different areas, including Chattogram Railway Station and the shrines of Hazrat Amanat Shah (R), Hazrat Garibullah Shah (R), Hazrat Miskin Shah (R) and Hazrat Badna Shah (R).

Meanwhile, 15,000 orphaned children and madrasah students received foods at Khulna and 5,000 others in Sylhet.

According to sources, 50,000 children received foods in Chattogram, Sylhet, Narail, Khulna, Mongla, Gopalganj, and Bancharampur.

Distribution of food among destitute is a continuous process as the Bashundhara Group Managing Director feeds thousands of orphans and helpless children every Friday.
