Ahmed Al Dehaimi, Ambassador of Qatar to Bangladesh and Jayaprakash Nair, Country Head Bangladesh, Qatar Airways, were present on the occasion.

This initiative is just one of the ways in which we demonstrate our commitment to giving back to the community of Bangladesh. The Holy Month of Ramadan reminds us of the importance of giving to others and we are truly grateful to have made a difference to these children."
The fun-filled day of activities for the children from Darul Ulum Korail Madrasa and Orphanage, Mohakhali Darul Aman Orphanage and Azizia Madrasa and Orphanage included musical chairs, tug-of-war, face-painting and bouncy castles. Also, the ambassador distributed prizes and gifts to the children.
