UNB, Dhaka :
As coronavirus cases continues to rise in Bangladesh, Young Bangla with its nationwide network has taken steps to raise awareness among youths involved in volunteering for their communities.
Youths of Young Bangla, selected from across the country by CRI based on their activities that changed the lives of their communities, came up with their humanitarian response during the pandemic.
Their voluntary activities include offering food to poor people and daily wage earners who are having a hard time since all activities around the country came to halt as a measure to stop the spread of coronavirus, said a media release on Sunday.
They also campaigned for social distancing. Since their voluntary involvement increases their chance of being affected, Young Bangla’s secretariat Centre for Research and Information (CRI) has organised three webinars, held last week, between 200 community youth leaders and health and wellbeing practitioners.
Participating youths in those sessions have received guidelines and briefs on ‘Volunteerism and Safety in Corona days’ recently.
Professor Dr Mamun Al Mahtab (Shwapnil), Chairman, Liver Department, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), partook in the third webinar. He provided youths with the guidelines and answered their queries.
