Sharing Happiness: BRACU Community Service Club Organises Food Distribution Program For Ramadan
Sharing Happiness is a signature donation event initiated by the BRAC University Community Service Club that is held annually during the auspicious month of Ramadan. Ramadan, the month of fasting, is a time of magnanimity wherein the integrity of benevolence and goodwill are fostered all throughout the month. During this propitious time, the objective of BUCSC is to spread happiness through generous acts of charitable giving to the needy by distributing rations, iftar or Eid attires.
This year, BUCSC mainly focused on handing out rations. The distributed goods consisted of rice, oil, sugar, salt and vermicelli which are the staples at every home in order to prepare iftar items to break the fast or cook dishes on the occasion of Eid. The club members of Brac University Community Service Club collectively distributed the rations to 70 underprivileged families on the 13th and 15th April around areas in Jigatola, Dhanmondi, Rayerbazar and other locations within Mohammadpur.
The donations collected during the fundraising has contributed to the club in filling the gaps and providing dedicated resources to aid the most vulnerable by raising funds. Throughout the span of the donation period, countless number of people have lent their helping hand in support of those in need which has helped in nurturing a positive effect on the community. The donation period lasted from March 30 to April 12, 2023. Respected faculties from various departments, several students within Brac University campus and numerous individuals outside the university have also displayed gestures of selflessness through their contributions.
