DPS STS assists vulnerable people

To assist underprivileged people amid the coronavirus pandemic, DPS STS School Dhaka has initiated a project recently.

The Project Rong by the Community Club of the school aims to make a difference in the society, said a press release.

On this occasion, Dr. Shivananda CS, Principal, DPS STS School Dhaka, said, “During these unprecedented times, it is our responsibility to support the community at our fullest potential. Hence, the DPS STS Community Club decided to initiate Project Rong to liberate children’s creativity through pencil and paper. We believe that helping organisations and supporting vulnerable populations in the wake of the pandemic is of utmost importance.”

Under the project, unused paints, colours, crayons, and other stationery items were collected from people by the volunteers. The school then distributed three big cartons of these stationeries to Families for Children (FFC), a non-profit organisation that fulfils the needs of homeless children and specially-abled young adults.

After the stationeries were handed out at the orphanage, the children expressed gratitude with heart-warming smiles and handmade cards.

Now, more than one hundred children of FFC can make use of the stationeries for their educational purposes.
