Newport Rotary Helps Bangladeshi Fishermen


Dear Newport Rotary Club,

You will be happy to know that yesterday our club has distributed 40 boats and nets to the Cyclone Sidr affected 80 fisherman families in the southern region of Bangladesh. A group of six Rotarians from our club headed by our club President Rtn. Nesar were present at the distribution ceremony. A day long workshop for the fishermen receiving boats and nets was also well attended by people from government, administrative, fisheries, cooperative, disaster management and primary health care departments as participants in the workshop. Local Rotary leaders from the southern area of Bangladesh also attended the function. Our club team will return to Dhaka in the afternoon today and then I shall collect pictures from them and send them to you.

We the members of Rotary Club of Dhaka North West gratefully recognize the great support of Rotarians in District 7730 for this matching grant. I do not know how to express my gratitude to you, the great friend of Bangladesh for your repeated support for people of Bangladesh.

With best regards,

Past District Governor K.M.Zainul Abedin
