Proshika rehabilitates FF's ill-fated daughter

Proshika has taken the responsibility for rehabilitating an ill-fated daughter of a war-wound freedom fighter, says a press release.

Rina Akhter, daughter of Matiur Rahman of Agragarina village under Peerganj upazila in Thakurgaon district, was deceived by a gang of cheats.

A pictorial report on the fateful life of Rina was recently published in national dailies where she made a fervent appeal to all conscious-driven individuals or organisations to help her back to a normal life.

Upon her appeal,Proshika President Dr Qazi Faruque Ahmed directed the Proshika Legal Aid Services (PLUS) to take necessary steps in this regard.

Speed Trust, an NGO, rescued Rina from Patuakhali.

Kazal Baron Das, Patuakhali district project manger of Speed Trust, on Saturday handed over Rina to Proshika at a function at Proshika Bhaban with Dr Faruque in the chair.

Proshika, in consultation with Rina and her family members, decided to keep her at Nirmala Rehabilitation Centre run by the Association for Correction and Social Reclamation & Certified Institute for one year.

Rina would be given computer training and other job-oriented education in this centre.

Proshika, a leading NGO, would bear all expenses and provide employment opportunities to her for leading a modest life.
