Advocate Md. Sarowar Hossain Lovelo, a distinguished lawyer and human rights activist known for his profound social commitment, initiated an exceptional charitable project. Utilising his first government salary as an Additional Public Prosecutor (APP), Lovelo organised an Iftar distribution event for those most in need during the holy month of Ramadan.
Ramadan is a period of reflection, sacrifice, and solidarity with the less fortunate. Guided by these values, Advocate Lovelo decided to allocate his first public sector salary to help vulnerable individuals, including the homeless and orphans. The event took place on 24 March 2025, ahead of a special gathering organised by the Sitakunda Blood Bank at the Sitakunda Municipality premises.
The event was attended by numerous representatives from local social organisations, including Lion Mohammad Nur Khan, founder and administrator of Sitakunda Blood Bank; Lion Lecturer Md. Nazimuzzaman Rashed, Vice President of Dishari Youth Foundation Bangladesh; Md. Raihan Uddin, founder of Sitakunda Blood Bank; Md. Abu Taher, President of Goriber Bondhu Youth Foundation; Md. Omar Faruq, former President of Sitakunda Youth Blood Foundation and executive member of Sitakunda Upazila Social Welfare Federation; Md. Nuruddin, General Secretary of Sitakunda Youth Blood Foundation; and Md. Iqbal Hossain Imon, General Secretary of Dishari Blood Donation Club.
Advocate Lovelo emphasised the significance of the event, stating: “My profession is law, but my life’s mission is to serve humanity. I believe that a lawyer should be an ambassador for justice, both inside and outside the courtroom. I am delighted to use my first public-sector salary to support those in need. I hope my initiative encourages others to undertake similar actions. I am particularly grateful to organisations like Dishari Youth Foundation and Sitakunda Blood Bank for their invaluable support.”
Advocate Lovelo actively engages in various social roles, including Chairman of Dishari Youth Foundation Bangladesh, Zonal Volunteer Coordinator at International Human Rights Commission IHRC Corporation, executive member of Sitakunda Upazila Social Welfare Federation, publisher and editor of “Ain Adalat Protidin,” Law Editor at Daily Sangu and Daily Vorer Chetana, and Executive Journalist at National Daily Rayann.
Md. Nazimuzzaman Rashed from Dishari Youth Foundation Bangladesh described Advocate Lovelo as a humanitarian role model and an inspiration for younger generations, highlighting the importance of his social initiatives despite professional success.
Md. Omar Faruq from Sitakunda Youth Blood Foundation highlighted the uniqueness of Advocate Lovelo’s initiative, emphasising his example of social responsibility as a model for local youth.
Md. Raihan Uddin, founder of Sitakunda Blood Bank, added that Advocate Lovelo’s actions demonstrate the vital importance of selfless community service, which forms the foundation for building a compassionate and fair society.
The Iftar distribution project serves as a call for increased social involvement, reminding us that anyone can effect positive change through determination and a sense of duty towards the needy.
