Project Update as of 26 Sep 2004

On 24 Sep 2004, Mr. Shahidul Alam (17th) received his first disability equipment, a Portable Transfer Lift,  procured for him under this project. He is very happy with the equipment and enjoying the added comfort this equipment brought in for him.

He writes the following to thank all involved in this project :
"Thanks to the Almighty, I received this great gift from the marine community this morning. The "transfer lift" package is perfectly in sound condition. I have unpacked it, tested and found it very helpful for me.........I cannot express in words how grateful I am. I definitely feel very lucky even in this condition, that I get well wishes from all you good persons. This world is still a good place to live on for me. Although I am bodily dead, but your efforts have boosted my mind to live on and not to give up.....Thank you all. You will be remembered by me, whenever I see this excellent gift which I shall be using every day........Regards to your family.......You will be always in my prayers........Please take care......Yours,.....Shahidul Alam"   24 Sep 2004

This Portable Transfer Lift is the second largest item this project intends to provide Mr. Alam. This was bought in the US and was shipped to Singapore, from Singapore it was transferred by few mariners to Dhaka via Chittagong. The largest item "Mechanized Wheel Chair" is in the process of procurement.
