Mehrab al Shahin, a 10th grader of International School, Dhaka (ISD), as part of his academic requirement undertook a project titled 'Fight Cancer' and organised a concert named 'Live and Louder 2005' to raise fund for the proposed Ahsania Mission Cancer Hospital (AMCH), says a press release.

The Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM) is setting up the hospital at Uttara in the city. Mehrab handed over a cheque for Tk75,000 to Dhaka Ahsania Mission President and Chief Executive Kazi Rafiqul Alam at a simple ceremony on March 17 on the school premises. The money was earned from the sale of tickets of the concert.

Chief Executive Officer of the School John F Sperandio and Mehrab's MA Muttalib were present.

Rafiqul Alam said we are proud of Mehrab and hope that others will surely be encouraged to organise similar events following him for AMCH.
