If any one can feel for them, please go and see them and talk to them at Uttara Dhaka (Road # 32, Sector # 8). Ali Neyamat, an internationally renowned social worker, who is also a journalist and a guest professor of English language and literature said, "There is nothing greater than doing good to the helpless.
