Zubaida calls for setting new examples in serving distressed humanity

Ziaur Rahman Foundation (ZRF) Overseas Committee Chief Advisor and noted physician Dr. Zubaida Rahman has urged the foundation's members to set new examples by extending their support for the well-being of distressed humanity.

She made this call while speaking virtually from London at a discussion organized by ZRF in the capital's Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) auditorium on Friday, marking the foundation's silver jubilee celebration.

BNP Acting Chairman and ZRF President Tarique Rahman chaired the discussion while BNP Standing Committee Member and former Minister Dr. Abdul Moyeen Khan spoke as the chief guest.

ZRF Executive Director and BNP Chairperson's Advisory Council Member Dr. Farhad Halim Donar gave an overview of the organization.

Extending heartiest greetings to all members of ZRF, Zubaida Rahman said the foundation has implemented numerous philanthropic projects successfully during the past 25 years.

Mentioning that ZRF is moving ahead with the philosophy of 'People for People’, she highlighted many philanthropic works of the foundation including reaching oxygen to coronavirus-affected patients and standing by flood-affected people.

This organization has not only provided service to people but also participated in the tree plantation programme to maintain ecological balance.

Sometimes they distributed ducks, hens and goats among the poor families, she said adding that ZRF took a seed scheme aimed at the distribution of seeds among the farmers and a water scheme to ensure drinking water in different areas.

She said the virtual science fair is one of the multifaceted projects of ZRF in search of future scientists. By organizing this fair, she said this organization encourages children and juveniles to become proficient in science.

Dr Zubaida expressed the hope that this foundation, established in the name of Shaheed Ziaur Rahman, a bright star in public service work, will continue to provide services to people. She thanked all the members of the celebration committee for making the Silver Jubilee celebration programme a success.
