JAAGO Foundation and Volunteer for Bangladesh have been conducting several campaigns under the purview of social responsibility. In line with such activities, Volunteer for Bangladesh arranged a campaign called – “Apnar Mask Kothay? (Where is your mask?)”, supported by Beximco Pharmaceuticals on the 12th of November to inspire people to wear masks to raise awareness among people wearing masks properly.
Volunteers participated in this campaign from their respective districts, and they raised mass awareness by taking to the streets. A number of 6000 volunteers participated from these eight divisions – Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Barisal, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Mymensingh.
The volunteers discussed the ongoing coronavirus situation and made people aware of the importance of using masks to reduce the spread of COVID 19.Taskin Ahmed, Cricketer, Bangladesh National Team has inaugurated this campaign at Gulshan 2.
He said that this campaign has come at a very crucial time at this moment of the pandemic.
Korvi Rakshand, the Founder and Executive Director of JAAGO Foundation said – While people do use hand sanitizers, they are reluctant to wear masks for lack of habit and being unaware of their importance. JAAGO Foundation and Volunteer for Bangladesh are doing several awareness-raising activities since the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
