The world has now been affected by the deadly virus and it has broken out everywhere, so we are taking measures to minimize the impact in Bangladesh.
We are supporting the people here, and will continue as needed. The REO youth team from Norshinsi district, Gaziour District are distributing hand sanitizers, gloves, masks, and soaps to the people in need who do not have access to such basic necessities of life.
