UIU Social Services Club, a wing of the Directorate of Career Counseling and Student Affairs of United International University has collected an emergency fund to extend a hand of support to the distressed families in Remal cyclone affected areas at Koyra in Khulna.
Thousands of people were severely affected in those areas by the devastating cyclone, said a UIU press release.
The members of UIU Social Services Club were divided into several groups to collect fund for the cyclone-affected people from the faculty members, administrative staff, and students of UIU.
Recently, they distributed the collected amount among 50 families at Koyra in Khulna. This financial support may help them to suppress their hardship and recover from the situation. Renata PLC was the Health Care Partner.
A team consisting of seven members of the Social Services Club recently went to few remote areas at Koyra and collected data of the affected families. Then they sorted out and identified a number of families who were severely affected.聽
Professor Md Abul Kashem Mia, vice-chancellor of UIU has thanked all the faculty members, administrative officials and students who stood beside the Remal-affected people.
He also expressed his gratitude to everybody involved in making the campaign a success, especially Professor AKM Muzahidul Islam, director of DCCSA and Abdullah Al Mamun, moderator of UIUSSC for their proactive coordination.
