Parvez Hasan stands by flood affected in Bandarban 

Parvez Hasan, a familiar face on Facebook and YouTube, has already captured the hearts of thousands with his thoughtful social media posts. In his videos, he highlights the lives of the underprivileged people of the peripheries and helps them in various ways.

One day on the street, Parvez Hasan noticed two children trying to comfort their mother, exhausted from the heat, by pouring water on her head using a small plastic bowl.

Parvez could feel the pain of those children as he himself lived through similar struggles during his childhood.

He instantly went ahead to help that family, and uploaded their photos and a video on his Facebook profile immediately.

The post did not take time to go viral and inspired many good people to reach out to him.

To know more about the whereabouts of the mother and the children, Parvez again went to them the next day.

A small chat with the family revealed that they hailed from Kurigram, a northern district, and had been made homeless by river erosion. On top of that, the father of the children was suffering from cardiac diseases and his treatment had rendered them penniless at the time.

Subsequently, the deputy commissioner of Kurigram came forward to help the distressed family and alongside Parvez bought the family a battery-run easy bike and rebuilt their house. Their children are now in school.

That one incident inspired Parvez to set up the Sohomormita Foundation in 2018. Many people have since extended their helping hands to the Foundation to provide disadvantaged children with an education. Besides, they help people find their lost families and enable them reunite.
