Get a booster jab to protect yourself and others from Omicron in Britain

We need to protect our community against a new wave.

We've come a long way in Britain regardless of what mainstream media say about us Bangladeshis in Britain!

Many of us live in overcrowded housing conditions  just like many Pakistanis.  We also work in public facing jobs just like many Afro- Caribbean communities. 

Regardless of our challenges, according to the government's  Covid Disparities Report 2021 published on 3 December 2021:

'Bangladeshi group was the only ethnic group...the highest vaccine uptake at 91.7%.'

We must not forget how far we, as a community, have come.

We just need to push a bit more to protect ourselves from Omicron by getting a booster.

During pandemic mother spreads message of hope & paradise after life through jewellery design in memory of dead son

In memory of her dead son, Hasina Momtaz  spreads the message of  hope and paradise  after life through jewellery design to connect with Muslim community during pandemic. Early life in London Hasina came to the UK in the mid 1970s. She settled in Croydon, south London, from Bangladesh. She could not speak a word of English and was being bullied at school. ‘I remember nobody wanted to be my friend and the teacher assigned somebody to be my friend to look after me and make sure I was okay.’ Although she made south London her home, there was something unsettling for Hasina as a teenanger. ‘So   from the age of that 16, 17, I almost felt like I was on borrowed time because the school that I was at there were three or four Bangladeshi girls who all got taken out of school at the age of 16 and ...actually shipped back home… and married off there against their will.’ She confessed that she also felt the pressure from her father to get married. ‘I was determined that at least I was going to go
