Appeal for help

Arman Bin Kamal, a student of class five at Saroj International School and College, contracted Hepatitis C following a blood transfusion during a surgery on his body son after his birth. But his illness was diagnosed in 2001.

According to doctors, his liver has already been affected by the virus and he needs immediate hospitalisation.

But the prolonged treatment involves about Tk 15 lakh, which his family cannot afford.

Arman is not only a meritorious student but also writes poems in this young age.

His mother has appealed to generous people to extend a helping hand to save her son's life.

Contributions can be sent to Parveen Akhter, SB A/C No.-5698/29, Sonali Bank, Begum Rokeya Saroni Branch, Mirpur, Dhaka.
