THE PDF SUMMER CHALLENGE: FULFILLING OUR INHERITED RESPONSIBILITY

Everyone,at one point of their life, wants to help out the underprivileged, but the unfortunate thing is, their endeavor gets stuck there; they ONLY want to help but do very little to make it happen. After my exams, I wanted to get out of the shackles of sloth and DO something productive.When I say 'DO', I do not mean creating pointless EVENT PAGE or superfluous GROUPS in Facebook and spam everyone's inbox claiming to RAISE AWARENESS among the mass public, but I mean going out to the field and engage in active social work. And when I was introduced to THE PDF SUMMER CHALLENGE, I knew it would give me the perfect platform to help the helpless.

PDF(Physically-Challenged Development Foundation) is a non-profit organisation aiming to help,as the name suggests, the physically challenged people in our country.It's primary aim is to help the young ones with physical disability.Thus, it has chosen CRP(Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed) in Savar to instigate its first project, and so began THE PDFSUMMER CHALLENGE.

In a nutshell, the Summer Challenge consists of 15 teams comprised of students from all over the city ranging from school to college students.Each team is suppose to come up with their own idea with the basic ideology of helping the underprivileged people of Dhaka,along with helping the children given shelter and treatment in CRP.

Let me introduce you to you our team, TEAM KICKASS, and as the name suggests, weKICKASS for the greater good of the society! We are planning to implement our project in TWO phases(Yes,we are that awesome! ) involving both the inhabitants of CRP and the common underprivileged people on the streets through a project called PROJECT INTERNAZIONALE.

PHASE ONE involves distributing dates imported from SAUDI ARABIA directly to the people inCRP, enabling them to taste a luxury, to taste the fruit which bore from the very soil where Muhammad (SA) once walked.We are hoping to flush them with spirit of Ramadan, directing them to a calm path, showing that there is still hope.

PHASE TWO involves giving a the residents of a particular slum with FREE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT with the help of our senior brothers,Basit Abdul and Saad Andalib,studying inDMC and BMC respectively. We will, moreover, give them the address of few of the places which provides FREE FRIDAY HEALTH SERVICE, so they can keep healthy all throughout the year.

Finance from all of these is coming primarily from donations collected from our FNF, teachers and staffs, school students, anyone we can shamelessly ask for! As the projected expense has not been met yet (not everyone gets what a noble and awesome task we have undertaken sadly), we welcome any kind of donation you can muster. We can guarantee that your money will not go to any kind of waste and will be fully employed to help the needy. If you are interested in donating,please contact me through my mail: azmain_don@yahoo.com. Wish us luck but do you know what works better than luck?Money!

P.S. You will be rewarded seventy times the amount you donate in this Sacred Month! No sane man or woman should let this chance slip.Just a thought....! :P

Enemy of Israel:Hamas or Peace?

There are limits to everything, and I think no one should be above the law.Not even small Nations which tries to muscle its way to the throne of power.The incidents that occurred, and are occurring in the Gaza strip and all over Palestine have provoked me to write this article.Don't get me wrong, I am not at all against Israel or Jews people. I respect them equally as everyone;see them in the same light as I see Muslims.It's just that some of their actions,which are unacceptably increasing nowadays, are just sheer inhumane and I would like to point them out.If I sound too harsh, then know ,its not directed to all the Israelis, but only to those who are responsible for the massacre of Palestinians and who hinder the Middle Eastern peace process. Where to begin? Let's start with one of the most heinous genocide carried out by the Israeli military in Gaza on 27 December 2007.They started with air strike, and then exacerbated the situation by ground strike. It left about 1400 ...

The O Level Experience.

It has been a long and grueling week so far. The mid of the exam is reached,and I use the first liberty I get to share my little ongoing experience with everyone.Don't make the mistake of thinking that the exam is over, as its not.I just have a little free time. For me the exam started on 10th May.Since then I have been only seeing pages and only pages infront of me. Lets start with the beginning. I stepped out of car to be greeted by the scene of a mass crowd, surprisingly consisting more of adults than students, frantically moving here and there. The astronomical number of adults made me confused of where I am actually.Then I learned that in exams, with every single candidate, at least two guardians are clamped together; this actually is a feature of O level examinations. I begin my entrance to the examination hall, with biology paper 1 as the first exam. I was checked and rechecked for God knows what by a serious looking guard.The contortion of his face suggests that he was look...

Brazil,Argentina and Bangladesh

Any foreigner, visiting Bangladesh during the World Cup Football, will definitely be confused over our nationality.He even may have second thought about where he is actually. I mean who wouldn't? Seeing all the buildings, big and small, wrapped and re wrapped in either Brazilian flag or Argentine flags, or simply just both. It seems we forget our nationality for this one month of footballing spectacle. I go out to take a walk, and see two Brazil flags surrounded by five Argentine flags, with either a Germany or England flag in the middle which is just unrecognizable amidst the Blue and Green. One day, on my way to coaching, I saw one of the most bizarre thing.A small Brazil flag was fluttering proudly on the rooftop of GERMAN High Commission premise! I don't know to whom the flag belonged ,maybe the guards or janitors, but the scene was.....bizarre!Anyway,if it was the guard, then salute man! Rickshaws with small flags attached to their handlebars were a common site.And I alway...
