About us This Appeal was set up by Turon Miah who was born in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. This region of Bangladesh has been hit by a series of natural disasters. Only last year major floods caused devastation leaving three million people marooned and thousands of others cut off from their village and searching for shelter, two people were electrocuted in Sylhet when cables came into contact with the flood waters Several other people drowned.
The initial aim of this appeal is to help rebuild a school that was severely damaged by the flood On visits to Bangladesh Turon and Sufi have witnessed the deprivation and suffering of their fellow Bengalis and have chosen to help them. Turon and his brother Sufi own a restaurant in Metheringham Lincolnshire. They have already personally funded the building of many homes for the poverty stricken in Sylhet. They are also involved in many local community projects in Metheringham such as the local under 12 football team swimming team and Squash Club As well as raising money for L.I.V.E.S First Responder Organisation and the LIncs & Notts Air Ambulance
