Dear Mr. Aslam,
Thanks for the nice posting.
By the grace of almighty Allah & for His satisfaction I do this type of charitable works and many of my friends & known people also (who regularly participate, contribute in these blogs also) do the similar thing.
I know one of them; who pays full educational expanses of a poor grand son of a devoted freedom fighter of 1971.
Thanks again for this nice posting.

In this country of thieves and million-dollar bribes, we still have some idealistic teachers who are spending their own time and money to help poor students. Courtesy of Prothom-Alo, we bring you that story.
Mr. Golam Mostofa is a teacher at the Jamirhat High School in Parbatipur Upojila of Dinazpur. He noticed in 1979 that students from affluent families are doing better than poor students because of private lessons. He built a small room next to his house, and gave free coaching to poor students. He even bought books and pens/pencils for the students with his own money.The article is full of inspiring stories like that, and I encourage you to read it.
One of his students, Shuvodra Roy, got 5.0 GPA this year. Shuvodra told the Prothom-Alo reported that Mr. Mostofa bought her books, supplies, even clothing, and without his help she could not have continued her studies.
I have a modest request. For those of you reading this from outside Bangladesh, please give a little back if you can afford it. Even if you can give $10 to a student who did backbreaking manual labour during the day and still shone at the exams, or to some of the teachers who spent their own money to assist their students, it will be huge in terms of moral support. It does not have to be a specific student or teacher: talk to your relatives in Bangladesh, ask them if they know a deserving person, and share your good fortune. It is possible you will even find a deserving individual among your close or distant relatives.
Eid is coming, and if you or your parents give Jakat, please consider earmarking a portion for the same purpose.
If nothing else, send a box of ball-point pens.
Do not consider this charity, consider it a privilege to be able to help. Thank you.Posted by J at 6:44 PM 0 comments Links to this post
