Celebrating Bengali New Year 1430
Pohela Baisakh is annually observed with great excitement and splendor. Pohela Baisakh, one of the most important celebrations in the Bengali community, marks the beginning of the Bengali New Year. The day is spent with loved ones, including family, friends, and family. Pohela Baisakh also gives hope for prosperity, and joy as well as the promise of a better tomorrow.
While the day fell during Ramadan this year, the celebrations are a little unusual. Usually, the day begins with a breakfast of panta-ilish (watered rice and fried hilsa fish). But this year, the celebrations mainly began following the iftar. As a way to welcome and wish everyone a happy Bengali new year, our sponsored kids created posters. They celebrated the day with us and enjoyed making colorful posters together.

Testimonials of Shapla Foundation
Being a parent is very emotionally rewarding. When my child accomplishes a milestone, the feeling is indescribable and incomparable. If there is any feeling close to such, I would say it’s the feeling I get every time I open a letter from my child that I sponsor through Shapla Foundation. Dare I say, there are few things that are more rewarding than seeing the smile on these kid’s faces. Shapla Foundation has created an amazing and smooth process that allows its sponsors to monitor the breathtaking achievements of the kids.
