Bangladeshi singer Mehreen just celebrated her birthday with friends, fans, other musicians and eminent personalities at the premises of Shandhani (a voluntary institution of medical students) in Nilkhet by donating blood and registering for after death eye donation.
“My birthday was on October 30, and initially I planned on celebrating the day in a grand manner,” Mehreen says, “but later I changed my mind, and wanted to do something entirely different. I decided to get in touch with Shandhani and asked them if they’d let me help them out with something. They gave me an opportunity to make a difference.”
Also present at the event were former ambassador Dr Afsarul Kader, provost of Rokeya Hall Rowshan Ara, freedom fighter and organiser Ruhel Ahmed Babu, designer of Rang Biplob Saha, musicians Sayan and Minar, elocutionist Anik Khan, Shandhani National Eye Donation Society’s central counsellor Mizanur Rahman Mazumder, Prof Dr Ali Asgar Moral, Dr Joynal Abedin and Dr Joynul Islam. The programme was managed by Go Girl and Cool Exposure, and sponsored by Diamond World and Rani Steel.
