Dear Supporters,

We are very grateful for all your love and support.

We provided food material to 300 families which will help them at least for a week.

We are thankful to the whole staff of ALFRESCO GRAND for their full support & help, through out the process, starting from the packaging of items to accompaning us today to providing day time meal. It would have never been a success without them.

We also appreciate Suruj Thakuria presence through out the day & for guiding us in donating relief matterials to the real needy people in the remote areas of Choygaon & Palashbari.

Its tragic to see those people living a life over there with so much of difficulties where spending just one day was exhausting for us.

The smile on their face after getting the relief material was worth a watch.

We really appreciate everyone's contribution for this & specially Shanti Doley Madam for bringing out the whole idea, taking the lead & making it worth.

Thank you once again!

Bharat Poddar
