Lighting the Faces of Bangladesh
A few days back, a little kid was given a printed photo of himself by one of our members. He was ecstatic! The way the ten-taka print lighted up the kid’s face showed just how easy it is to bring a smile in a face that hardly gets to smile and how easy it is to make someone feel special.

So in one fine 1° Initiative meeting, we took up this project. We’ll go to little kids, take their photos, print them and then give it to them. Thinking that this little photo would be something the little kid will cherish, stare at every night and treasure as something that’s probably the one of the most precious things he owns… makes us feel very warm and fuzzy inside!

What we’re really doing is that we’re giving these little kids something that they’ll cherish; something that’ll tell them they matter too. And even if it’s none of that, we just LOVE the way a simple ten-taka print can bring such beautiful smiles to faces that hardly ever gets to smile.

We set up a blog, where we’ll put up the photos of the kids, happy and smiling or grinning, as they hold up their photos right after we give it to them.

Throughout November and December, we worked on our Winter Clothes Collection project. After collecting a decent total of approximately 650 clothes, we sent it off to Chhinnamukul for distribution. The NGO distributed the clothes in Kurigram, and now we’ve got the photos of the clothes being distributed!
