Project "ভাষার জন্য ভালবাসা"

February 16, 2012 at 9:00am until February 20, 2012 at 6:00pm

In 1952 on 21st February our heroic sons Salam, Borkot, Rafiq, Jabbar and many more have sacrificed their lives for our mother language "Bangla". At that time the Pakistan Govt. tried to impose Urdu as our mother language but our herioc sons came forward and raised their voice against the Pakistan Govt. And for their sacrifice we are now able to speak in Bangla. We are proud of them because for them now this day is internationally recognized.
Thus, it is our duty to show respect to the language martyrs. For that reason "Leo Club of Dhaka Mid Town Plus" built a "Shaheed Minar" in Progoti Primary School to show respect to the language martyrs on 16/2/2012.

"একুশে প্রভাত ফেরী"

February 21, 2012 from 9:00am to 9:30pm

একুশে ফেব্রুয়ারি শুধুমাত্র দিনপঞ্জীর একটি জ্বলজ্বলে লাল তারিখ নয়, একুশ বাঙালির কাছে এক খাপ খোলা তলোয়ার। বাহান্ন সাল গেছে তো সেই কবে। তারপর পেরিয়ে গেছে বহু বসন্ত। একুশের পথ বেয়ে বাঙালি বারবার দিয়েছে শৈর্য্য-বীর্যের পরিচয়। বাহান্ন'র মাত্র দু' বছর পরে চুয়ান্ন'র সাধারণ নির্বাচনে শাসকদের ভরাডুবি ঘটিয়েছে, বাষট্টির কূখ্যাত হামুদুর রহমান শিা কমিশনের বিরুদ্ধে ছাত্র সমাজ বীর বিক্রমে রুখে দাঁড়িয়েছে। ছিষট্টি'র ছয় দফার আন্দোলন, ঊণসত্তুরের গণ অভু্যত্থান, সত্তুরের সাধারণ নির্বাচনে বাঙালির ভূমিধস বিজয় এবং একাত্তুরের রক্তাক্ত মুক্তিযুদ্ধ সবই এসেছে একুশের পথ বেয়ে। স্বাধীনতা অর্জনের পরেও যেকোন অন্যায়, অবিচার আর স্বৈরাচারের বিরুদ্ধে দুর্বার বাঙালির জেগে উঠতে একুশই ছিল সদা ভ্যানগার্ড।

Project “Let’s Try To Make a Beautiful Dhaka”

March 9, 2012 from 10:00am to 12:30pm

We organized a clean up program at Dhanmondi Lake.
Majority of the people in Bangladesh does not care where they throw their rubbish, they discard their wastage without thinking about how adversely it will affect the environment or how offensive the sight of a pile of wastage is to the Passer-Bys. Even more offensive is the smell of rotting waste.
We should be careful about our wastage disposal.
Thus, Leo Club of Dhaka Mid Town Plus arranged this clean up event as an effort to make people realize the need to maintain a clean environment.

Project "Being Independent Through Literacy"

March 26, 2012 from 11:30am to 1:00pm

Leo Club of Dhaka Mid Town Plus celebrated the 41^st Independence Day of Bangladesh with some distressed street children who are trying to fight the curse of illiteracy even after being poverty-stricken.

There is school for street children situated at কলাভবন (Kola Bhaban), Dhaka University Campus. This school for the street children, which is enlightening their lives with the power of education, is founded and directed by some dynamic students of Dhaka University (Development Studies Dept).

Leo Club of Dhaka Mid Town Plus salutes these DU students who came into these distressed children's aid and have organized this event to encourage the DU students to continue their noble endeavor and to help these street children continue their education.

At the very beginning of the event, we distributed crayons among the children and conducted an art competition for the enjoyment of these children and the best three artists were given prizes (as 1st, 2nd and 3rd). Then, we distributed among them pencils, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, workbooks, and notebooks to aid them in their studies and provided them with food.

The DU students were really helpful and appreciative about our project.

First Aid Training Program

April 12, 2012 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm

We held a first aid training program at Shapla Academy to teach the kids there how to use a first aid kit to give an immediate response to any cuts or abrasions. During childhood getting injured while playing is a common occuring and thus, children should have the knowledge of how to use a first aid box so that they can tend to themselves and others as well.
