The government authorities at the Bhasan Char Rohingya camp praised and thanked Qatar Charity (QC) and its partners to keep refugees month-long cheerful by setting up Fun Zones on the occasion of the ‘FIFA World Cup-2022’, said a press note issued by Qatar Charity Dhaka Office on Sunday.
“It was a fantastic sportive arrangement. The Fun Zones provided fresh recreation for the refugee communities on Bhasan Char island and I know a lot of women, men, children, teenagers, and old people have enjoyed it with great enthusiasm,” said MD Tarikul Islam, Assistant Camp-in-Charge (ACIC) of Bhasanchar, while sharing his reactions over the arrangement of the Qatar Charity and its allies.
“Recreational facilities for refugees in Bhasan Char camp are very limited. I request Qatar Charity to establish a sporting club for children and teenagers in Bhasan Char camp,” he added.
Celebrating football with refugees and displaced people, supervised by Qatar Charity in fan zones in several countries in co-operation with local partners, the whole-month live screening of the football matches, concerts by Swedish singer Maher Zein and other fun events were organized in the Rohingya camp in Bhasan Char Island.
In the two Fun Zones, more than 6,000 refugees enjoyed the screening every day and they enjoyed Maher Zein’s visit and his tuneful performance. The refugees also thanked Qatar Charity to organize such a spectacular event that they have never seen.
The children of Qatar Charity's two orphan care centres in Dhamrai and Bhairab Upazila also enjoyed the Qatar World Cup Football 2022.
