Bengali New Year 1429 Celebration
Shapla Foundation team celebrated the Bengali new year with the kids in Mohakhali Sattala Slum. This day is usually celebrated by arranging various cultural programs and fairs. Fairs are the main attraction for the children. The rides, drawing colorful designs on faces and hands, colorful balloons, and lots of sweets and other snacks were the heart of these fairs. However, due to Covid-19, there were no such events for the past two years.
The fairs are amongst the few recreational opportunities the kids living in slums have. So, we wanted to bring some of the elements of the fairs back for these kids. We held a small event for these children. Our volunteers drew various colorful designs on their hands and faces. Even this small endeavor meant a lot to them. They enjoyed the event a lot. Their smiling faces made our day.

Testimonials of Shapla Foundation
Being a parent is very emotionally rewarding. When my child accomplishes a milestone, the feeling is indescribable and incomparable. If there is any feeling close to such, I would say it’s the feeling I get every time I open a letter from my child that I sponsor through Shapla Foundation. Dare I say, there are few things that are more rewarding than seeing the smile on these kid’s faces. Shapla Foundation has created an amazing and smooth process that allows its sponsors to monitor the breathtaking achievements of the kids.

I believe no one can help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Thanks to Shapla Foundation I have found the someone I feel proud to help. These kids are really the future and I’m content knowing that I’m doing my part to build a brighter future. Through the program we can really see that these kids try their best given their difficult circumstances; they have a willingness to grow themselves and all they need is a pat on the back from us.
