Virus Outbreak Bangladesh One Good Thing Bangladesh Aid

Impoverished Bangladeshi women return home after collecting food packages distributed by Mission Save Bangladesh in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020. With only 20,000 takas ($236) in hand, three friends took up the challenge to channel resources from the generous haves to the desperate have-nots when Bangladeshi authorities prepared to enforce a nationwide lockdown in late March. The first response came from Bangladeshi cricket star Shakib Al Hasan who donated 2 million takas ($24,000). With that, they began distributing food packs in the impoverished neighborhoods in Dhaka. Eventually, they succeeded in bringing about 120 organizations and business houses under one umbrella for their aid campaign, Mission Save Bangladesh. (AP Photo/Al-emrun Garjon)
