ALT #BooksforBangladesh A donation drive for flood relief in Bangladesh Bangladesh is currently going through one of the worst floods in its history. Heavy monsoon rain has led to rivers bursting. Millions of Bangladeshi people have already been affected. Families are stranded, and important infrastructure like power lines and water supply have been affected. This is the second time that severe flooding has affected Bangladesh since May. With ongoing torrential rain, conditions may worsen.

ALT Teal background with clover like patterns. The Love Match written in white, red, and white on top, with “love” in the elaborate red script, gold running through it. My name in gold at the bottom. Three Bangladeshi characters with varying shades of brown skin take center stage. First is Harun in a green polo, brown Chinos, and loafers. He wears glasses and smiles shyly, holding Zahra’s red urna in one hand and a rose in the other. Zahra is in the center, smiling thoughtfully at readers, eyebrow raised, hair in loose waves around her face. She wears a green, red, gold, and yellow lehenga with a pattern similar to the background. Then there’s Nayim holding a guitar and beaming at her. He wears an open red shirt over a white shirt and green pants, as well as green Converse-style sneakers, his hair tied up in a bun. All three are beautifully painted on and show a glimpse of the vast diversity of the Bangladeshi diaspora identity.
