Let's Build a Library
Our story today is about building a library - Spreeha organized a tour of the National Book Fair, which takes place over the entire month of February each year in Bangladesh. The tour, “Let’s go to the book fair” (Cholo Boi Mêla-ae Jai), was an initiative to enhance the scholastic interest among underprivileged students in the Spreeha education programs. 57 children joined the event. The children then visited stalls in the fair, bought books and finished their lunch at the Bangla Academy cafeteria. Spreeha provided an allowance to buy books of their choice. Once done with their own copy, the books will be used to build a library. Yes, a library – in the Spreeha school facilities, created by the students, for the students.

Lights, Camera, Action!
A volunteer team from GraphicPeople|SoftwarePeople conducted an orientation workshop in Spreeha. The main purpose of the workshop was to identify children’s and adolescents interest and aptitude on learning various extra-curricular activities.
At the end of the workshop a total of 60 adolescents and Spreeha staff were selected to receive training on Computer Graphics, Graphic Design, Photography, Art and Music. These training will be run under Spreeha’s Empowerment Program. The volunteer team was led by Mahenaz Chowdhury, Coordinator – Talent Management at GraphicPeople|SoftwarePeople.
