The Probashi Karnaphuli Sports Council, a humanitarian organization, has provided Tk 33,000 in financial assistance to a family affected by a devastating fire in Hajipara, Pomra Union, Rangunia Upazila, Chattogram, to support their rehabilitation.
The financial assistance was handed over to representatives of the affected family at a ceremony held at the organization's permanent office on Tuesday morning, October 20.
The event was presided over by Md. Abdul Malek, senior vice-president of the organization. Maulana Fazlul Kabir Chowdhury attended the program as the chief guest.
The event was conducted by Muhammad Firoz, the organization's Bangladesh representative. Special guests included Md. Abul Hashem and Md. Sekandar, vice-presidents of the organization; A. R. Mamunul Haque, its spokesperson; and Master Md. Abbas Ali Chowdhury (Munna), general secretary of the Bangladesh Human Rights Commission's Rangunia Upazila branch and a three-time recipient of the Best Human Rights Award.
Md. Azam and Yasin Arafat Chowdhury (Munna) attended the event on behalf of the fire-affected family. During the ceremony, the allocated cash assistance was handed over by chief guest Maulana Fazlul Kabir Chowdhury to Yasin Arafat Chowdhury (Munna), representing the affected family.
The family expressed profound gratitude to the Probashi Karnaphuli Sports Council for its support. According to the family members, despite the challenging war situation in the Middle East and various difficulties faced by expatriates, members of the organization living abroad extended their helping hands during their time of hardship.
They described the assistance as deeply emotional and a source of hope during a difficult period.
The family further stated that they would remember the organization's love, kindness, and support with gratitude and respect. They also prayed that Almighty Allah would accept the noble initiative and bless the organization's members with abundant sustenance and prosperity throughout their lives.
The youth community of Pomra Hajipara also extended heartfelt thanks, gratitude, love, and best wishes to all members, office-bearers, advisers, and everyone associated with the Probashi Karnaphuli Sports Council.
This humanitarian initiative demonstrates how people living abroad can strengthen the bonds of humanity by standing beside those in need in their home communities. Such efforts provide meaningful support to families affected by disasters while promoting solidarity, compassion, and mutual assistance within society.
At the conclusion of the program, a special prayer and supplication were offered for the well-being of all members, office-bearers, advisers, and others associated with the organization.
