New Womun Distribution System
From June 2002, members living in Gulshan, Baridhara and Banani are requested to pick up their own copy of WOMUN from the respective local pick up points from 3rd to 10th of the month (excluding Fridays and Saturdays) between 9 am to 5 pm.
Members who live outside these areas will continue to receive their copies by courier or messenger as in the past.
Pick-up points:
| Area | Volunteer |
| Gulshan 1 | Azra Ahmed |
| Gulshan 2 | Minoli de Soysa |
| Baridhara | Fatma Sesay |
| Banani | Hitomi Glemarec |
There is a list at each pick-up point for members to sign that they have received their copy. For those who cannot come during 9 am – 5 pm, please arrange a different pick-up time with a friend or in discussion with the volunteer in your area. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Hitomi Glemarec at 882-5454
Help for Women and Children
Are you leaving or cleaning up, and wondering what to do with the few pieces you want to give away? You could donate these items, and give help to poor women and children in Bangladesh.
The welfare committee members meet many people and organisations working in the slum areas of Dhaka. They are always happy to receive old clothes and toys for "their" mothers and children.
Useful items include:
old clothes, that still have some wear in them
clothes and toys that your children have grown out of
old saris
medicine boxes, like empty plastic film boxes
Do call one of the welfare committee members, and we will help you find a good home for your unwanted items!
