Activists of Lal-Sabuj, a monthly children magazine that runs in Barisal, initiated 'Project Eider Hasi' (smile of Eid) to purchase new clothes for Barisal's street children for Eid-ul-Fitr.
Barisal Deputy Commissioner (DC) Md Shahidul Alam, and Altaf Mahmud Shikdar, acting mayor of Barisal City Corporation, inaugurated the programme on Friday by donating money to a transparent sealed-box.
Tahsin Uddin, editor of Lal-Sabuj, said the box would be carried door to door to collect donations. With the money collected, new clothes will be bought and distributed amongst street children before Eid.
Anyone interested to donate can contact Lal-Sabuj at 01835135138 who will send their activists to collect the money.
The box's key will be kept with the district deputy commissioner, said Tahsin.
