BALID members, professionals and well wishers participated in this great initiative by providing financial support to combat humanitarian crisis.
The collected money (Taka one lakh thirty four thousand and five hundred only) was deposited into the 'Chief Adviser's Relief and Welfare Fund' of the Interim Government of Bangladesh.
It is noteworthy here that apart from professional development, BALID comes forward in humanitarian activities during various disasters.
