Rohingya Donation Event Update from October 21, 2017 

First of all, thanks to all the donors for making this possible. You can review all the monetary donations here.

Below are photos from our donation drive in October.

Kudos to Bangladesh Army 

Our fearless leader Mohammad Zakaria. This event wouldn't be possible without his devotion to this cause and working tirelessly to organize everything needed for this event. He has been going to Cox's Bazar almost every weekend to help the Rohingya people and we can't thank him enough for giving his time and energy to this cause.

You can tell it was raining like crazy leading up to the event. Rain or shine, our team was on a mission and they passed with flying colors :)

Strategy meeting before the rush. All the planning and hard work is about to be tested.

Of course, let's not forget all the volunteers that contributed to make this event a success.

So it begins...

Although, we are highlighing only a handful of photos, we have distributed food to 700 families. That's a major milestone for us since we are a small group of people and collected donations from friends, family and colleagues.

Here is a video of the food distribution part:

We still have money left over from the donations we have collected. Dan Fitzgerald, Allen Alam and Evan Islam from Central Station Marketing will be visiting Bangladesh in November and we will use the rest of the money to do one more donation drive. Since winter months are coming, we will distribute, blankets, jackets, candy and other winter related goods during our trip.
