Md Hasib Al Mamun, Headmaster of the Sikkha Niketon also expressed his feelings while teaching those rootless children and said, all the teachers including me feel proud taking the responsibility of educating those kids.
“Education is the main tools for the development of a country. As we dream of flourishing our country in every sector, we should stood by those street kids who are really deprived of their human rights from birth”, he continued.
RU student adviser Prof Sadequl Arefin Matin said, many voluntary organizations existed in our campus but Nabajagaron is exceptional. “If we realize our social responsibility and come forward like Nabajagaron, it would become easy to make our country ‘Sonar Bangladesh’, Prof Sadequl also said.
