TSC now hub for flood relief efforts

For the third consecutive day, the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) at Dhaka University (DU) has been bustling with a mass relief collection drive for flood victims.
On Saturday afternoon, people are seen arriving from far and wide to donate whatever they can.
Relief materials, including puffed rice, biscuits, clean water, various types of dry food, clothes, oil, rice, salt, sanitary napkins, medicines, and saline, are being brought in by rickshaws and pickups. Many are also contributing cash donations.
Students have taken the lead as volunteers, managing various aspects of the relief operation. Some are meticulously tracking the cash donations, while others are busy sorting and organizing the food, clothing, and other items.
Zaki Tahmeed, a student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet), stayed up all night working as a volunteer.
He said: “I have never seen this kind of unity among people. People from all walks of life came here and we worked side by side all night to prepare the relief packages for the flood-affected people.”
