Hello everyone. I hope you're having a good one. This is going to be the update post of Warmth For Winter initiative that I announced almost a month ago, which was about helping poor people with warm clothes, specially blankets in these cold times. Winter has hit harder than usual this year in Bangladesh. So me and my friends tried from our place, as miniscule as it was. And many of you have lent a hand to us in this effort. For that, you have our utmost gratitude.
We have been able to help 36 people through this initiative. Approximately 70.24$ were raised by your generous donations. With the contribution of family and friends, we could raise a total of 134.2$ (16828 BDT) (including all donations). In this follow up post I would like to shed some light on our expenses and how we conducted the distribution process.
Total Expenditure
| Item | Piece | Cost (Individual) | Cost (Total) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blanket | 36 | 450 BDT (3.59 USD) | 16200 BDT (129.18 USD) |
| Transportation | - | - | 520 BDT (4.15 USD) |
| Labour | - | - | - |
| Total | - | - | 16720 BDT (133.33 USD) |
| Remaining | - | - | 108 BDT (0.86 USD) |
We distributed blankets on 9th night of January. Our aim was to provide blankets to the homeless who sleep under the open sky at night so that this small contribution will help ease their winter suffering. And we were as careful as possible that these blankets did not fall into the wrong hands. No extra labor was incurred except for transportation costs as the entire distribution was done by the friends ourselves. At the end we had 108 taka as remaining funds which we will spend on future campaigns.
