1di collaborated with Drishtipat Canada this December for their “Sweater for a Smile” project. The plan was to combine funds and buy new sweaters for little children. Between a short time string and Eid-ul-Azha, we finally managed to see it through.

On 18th December 2007, Zubair Idris and Aaqib F. Hossain (representing 1di) with Sumaiya Sharmeen (representing Drishtipat Canada) went to a slum school, located in Agargaon. The school was a project run by Afzalunnessa Foundation (one of the many organizations that we’ve worked with in the past) and the authorities were excited to help us out.

This project would not have been possible without Drishtipat’s cooperation. 1di would like to thank Sumaiya Sharmeen and others from Drishtipat. We’re also grateful to Dr. Nizam (Director, Afzalunnessa Foundation), Rasheda Aunty (Principal, Agargaon School), the teachers from the school for their time and help, and the kids – for their wonderful smiles!
