Farewell, 2007
Yes, it’s been a crazy year! Between successful projects, some disappointments and recruiting of new members – 2007 has been a busy year for us. Although, considering blog updates, the aforementioned statement doesn’t seem very correct. We’d like to apologise! There were some unforseen errors and online issues that needed to be dealt with, and now, we’re back on our feet, updating the blog.
What We Did for 2007:
1. Field trip to the slum school in Agargaon, run by Afzalunnessa Foundation
2. Recruiting new memebers
3. Buying new clothes for children from Ahsania Mission for Eid-ul-Fitr
4. Working with Acid Survivors’ Foundation (ASF) and creating awareness against acid violence
5. Selling CRP cards
6. Collecting funds for Sidr victims and utilising the money for buying warm clothes and baby food
7. Distributing new sweaters to kids from Afzalunnessa School in Agargaon, in collaboration with Drishtipat
1di would like to thank everyone who year 2007 a success. Without cooperation and understanding, none of this would’ve been achieved.
We look forward to an exciting and active year 2008!
Happy New Year!

Hi,
Good on you for your good work. I was a little concerned that you were involved in the distribution of baby food. I wondered if you wereaware of some of the complications associated with this. The link I provided gives more info. Maybe you would like to get more involved?

Karleen,
We bought the baby food from reliable resources. There were doctors on the team, so I’m sure they checked up on the quality.
Thanks for your concern!
