My Road: My Responsibility with this theme around 40 volunteers headed out to the roads at 6 am. They beat the chilly weather including transport problems and started the event with full enthusiasm. They cleaned the roads around Dhanmondi lake and the surrounding roads. The volunteers were clad with gloves and masks and the dust did not dampen their spirits. Sakib Hasan Chowdhury, a committee member of Volunteer for Bangladesh and the project leader of this event said, ?The sweepers were very happy that we came out to appreciate them for the tough work they do every morning. We also realized that these people make our life easier and we should always be thankful and also do our part. Because it is our road, our responsibility.? As a citizen it is our duty to keep the city clean and appreciate the peoples behind it. The initiative was appreciated by the local seniors and the volunteers vowed that from now on they will always use the trash cans, keep the roads clean and protect the environment.
