Charity for Zarina Primary School, 2011
A primary school is established in 1980s for unfortunate students by a great woman Zarina Khatun. Her primary intention was to support street children by providing them proper education and shelter. The name of the school then became Zarina Kharun Primary School located in Hatirpool, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The school supports students by providing them free educational accessories, books, notebooks and food etc. There are full time teachers of science, maths, arts, music and other necessary subjects related with primary level education. More than hundred students study in this school. They had been facing sitting problem as there were not enough sitting tools, benches and tables. They were using wooden long tables with benches and many of those were found rotten and unusable. After discussing with the authority of the school, we decided to give them sitting bench and table so that students would be able to sit and keep their belongings on table. Those benches and tables are made of steel that would last for long time. The roof of the school is built by using tin and there are many holes in it. During the rainy season, water drops from the roof and students need to move out. They still need support for repairing roof and floor. Your kind support would make a significant change of those children’s life and would help for smooth running of the school.

Charity For Primary School Children In Southkhali, 2009
Southkhali is a village in Bangladesh where there was a cyclone named Sider attacked in November 2007. More than fifty thousand people were died and 3.5 million people were affected by the cyclone. There was another attack of cyclone named Aila that tore into the southwestern coast of Bangladesh in May 2009, wreaking havoc in ten coastal districts and killing more than 150 people. The education system has collapsed down and children are surviving by doing hard work in the field and factories. Many families are currently not able to provide necessary educational support for their children. If we help them by providing educational accessories, children could sustain their education.
After visiting more than ten primary schools in Southkhali, I found that many families were willing to send their children to school, but they were not able to bear educational expenses. Their income was based on growing crops in the field. They were leading miserable life with limited seasonal income. They lost all of their belongings during Sider and Aila. So children were growing apart from primary education.

I invited my family members, relatives, friends and teachers of the University of Asia Pacific to contribute educational support for the primary schools in Southkhali. Dr. Md. Fayyaz Khan (Associate Professor, EEE, United International University), Dr. Iftekhar Anam (Associate Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The University Of Asia Pacific), Aloke Kumar Saha (Head and Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The University Of Asia Pacific) donated for the charity program. My relatives Kamrul Islam, Zeaul Hasan, Rubel, Al-Amin and my friends Sani, Ibrahim Khalilullah Faisal, Johir, Mohammad Mahmudul Hasan, Shohidullah Kaiser, Sikdar Mohammad Shihab, Tarik Imam, Kazi Shamsul Arefin, Anowar Hossain and others have participated actively and they have done hard work from the first till the end of the program. With the help of them we have distributed school dress, exercise books and other educational articales among 700 students in different five schools. We would like to thank the head teachers and students of 45 no Babla-tola Reg. Primary School, 66 no Reg. Dhokhin-Gury Reg. Primary School and Bogy Reg. Primary School for their cordial assistance during the distribution. This event could not have been a success without the help of my teachers, relatives and friends who donated their ideas, time and money.
