A Noble Deed Done by Probasy for a Worthy Cause

These pictures are of Mohram, a twenty year old man who lives in Jharshinhershon Gram, Purbochatnai Upozela, Dimla Union, Nilfamari  Jela, Bangladesh. He was born with a disability that is with short legs and arms. He is training to become a hafeez. He is very poor and to survive he tutors young children around his area, he teaches them how to read the Quran. To get to his students he has to take a bike ride, usually he asks someone on the streets to give him a ride. However, he had to pay for the rides. By the end of each month, minus all his expenses he would only have 30 taka left.
In October 2004, when Bangladesh was hit by devastating floods, Probasy decided to raise money for the flood affected by selling Cadbury chocolates. When Kushbu and his dad (Abdul Aziz) went to Nilfamari they discovered this man and decided to make him a customised bike which he could ride and save money. So along with the cows, vans, etc. that they gave to the flood affected, they also left some money back home for his bike. And Prothom Alo have sent them these pictures. Probasy encourages others to do activities such as this one. 

Well Done Probasy!!!
