The Library for the Alok Shishu Shikkhaloy

Following the success of the library at Ekmattra, 1di members set off to make another library for the "Alok Shishu Shikkhaloy" school run by the Afzalunnessa Foundation. We began to sort a further 600 books, on five occasions - 17th August, 20th August, 13th September, 4th October, and 1st November. Meanwhile, the books were shifted from Zubair's house to Mushfiq's house.

On 20th August, two cartons of books deemed too difficult or complex for the young children were sold at Nilkhet, and the papers of question papers were sold for 15 taka per kg and the earnings incorporated into the common fund.

On 27th November, a team of 1di members delivered the books to Alok Shishu Shikkhaloy during the debut of the "One degree of Learning" quiz competition. The members themselves arranged the books on the shelf of the cupboard. A total of 168 books were delivered.
