​During the first week of June, 2021 (June 2, 2021) we focused on our beloved city of San Antonio to help fight COVID-19. We donated $450 to the Center for Refugee Services to help legally settled refugees, many who lost their minimum wage jobs due to the effects of COVID-19.  
 
If you are interested in helping us provide more aid to those affected by COVID-19 in San Antonio and/or Bangladesh, please donate today!  Every little bit helps those in need.  

On April 3, 2021, AMCB Foundation Bangladesh conducted a free medical clinic.  During this event, more than 600 poor and needy patients from more than 12 villages were provided free medical treatment and free medicine.
 
This free medical clinic was held in collaboration with both the Munshiganj district branch of the Bangladesh Human Rights Development Commission and the Ichhapura Government Model High School. The medical clinic was conducted in the medical facility and distribution center of AMCB Foundation Bangladesh in the village Bikrampur Khilgaon, Munshiganj district in Central Bangladesh. 
 
Please check out some photos from the medical clinic below.  If you wish to help us provide more free medical care for those in need, please donate!  Every little bit helps.

​On January 21, 2021, AMCB Foundation Bangladesh (the Bangladesh entity of the AMCB Foundation), collaborated with the Munshiganj district branch of the Bangladesh Human Rights Development Commission, a Bangladesh charitable organization, to distribute blankets to the rural poor and needy people of more than 8 villages. The distribution was conducted in the Ichhapura Model High School playground in the Munshiganj district in Central Bangladesh. During the event, which was conducted using social distancing protocols, 11,000 blankets were distributed. AMCB Foundation Bangladesh provided and distributed 200 of those blankets.  Check out below for some photos and a television news report about the event.  
 
This event is part of AMCB Foundation Bangladesh’s regular distribution program, which occurs in rural Bangladesh and occasionally in Dhaka city. During these events, we will hold medical clinics at our rural medical facility and distribute necessary items such as food, clothing, blankets, sanitary items, and school supplies.  Some of these events will be done together with other charitable organizations.  
 
We are planning additional events for the next few months.  All future relief efforts will take all necessary precautions related to Coronavirus and will follow the Bangladesh Government’s Coronavirus related restrictions.

The AMCB Foundation (www.amcbfoundation.org) and its Bangladesh affiliate AMCB Foundation Bangladesh (www.amcbfoundationbd.org) are raising money both in the San Antonio area and in Bangladesh to help those affected by COVID-19.  Here is an update on our efforts to help those affected by COVID-19 in the last several months: 

Over the last few months in the San Antonio area, the AMCB Foundation participated in the Big Give COVID-19 Emergency Relief fundraising event.  The AMCB Foundation raised more than $800 and will use that money to provide Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for frontline medical workers and to help the San Antonio Food Bank provide food to those affected by COVID-19. 
 
During the last few months in Bangladesh, AMCB Foundation Bangladesh has distributed more than 200 PPEs for the frontline workers of a hospital and a City Corporation in Dhaka City in Bangladesh.  AMCB Foundation Bangladesh also provided food for nearly 100 people affected by COVID-19 in Dhaka City and a nearby rural village.  See below for photos of our distributions.
 
We will keep helping those affected by COVID-19 in the San Antonio area and Bangladesh.  In the San Antonio area, we are participating at the 2020 Big Give event scheduled for September 10, 2020.  We are also raising money from individual donors outside formal events.  All donations will be used to help those affected by COVID-19.  In Bangladesh, we will continue to provide aid to those in need.
