    ANNUAL REPORT #বাঁচারলড়াই #বাঁচারলড়াই #বাঁচারলড়াই #বাঁচারলড়াই #BacharLorai #BacharLorai #BacharLorai #BacharLorai 2020 Table of Content 3 Foreword 4 We Salute You 6 #BacharLorai 8 Focus Areas 11 Initiatives 26 Resource Coordination Tool 28 Digital Social Innovation 30 2020 Visualized - UNSDGs 32 Acknowledgements 34 The #BacharLorai Movement we connect people with resources 2 Foreword We are quick to dwell on the emotional separation that the world wide web brings by limit- ing the formation of personal and meaningful social connections in our communities. To the contrary, 2020 reminded us of the promised potential of the internet that we often forget: connecting together to create a powerful positive difference. The #BacharLorai movement originated on Zoom and Google Hangouts between Bangladeshi citizens and expatriates who wanted to cushion the impact of COVID-19. Spotlighting underlying inequalities and historical burdens faced by societies in the global south, the pandemic came as a wake up call for a generation going to bed thinking that the status quo needs to change. Thus, when the journey started, the aim was not to create an organization by picking the best out of those who wanted to make change, but to ensure any effort from any person finds its space on a platform for all. A social movement powered by civic society. All patriots alike, in their own ways. #BacharLorai translates to ‘fight for survival’ in English. Initiated as what it reads to be, it was a simple hashtag that went along with the early efforts of many who wanted to help.

Kim Jin-su’s diving header at the end of the first extra period proved the dif- ference as the two-time champions met unexpected resistance before winning in Dubai. But Paulo Bento’s side, runners- up in 2015 and one of the favourites for the title, survived to reach the last eight, where they will face Qatar. Tottenham star Son took a boot to the head as he weathered some robust chal- lenges in a first half which South Korea dominated with 73% of possession. Bahrain nearly stunned the Koreans with Mohamed Marhoon’s stinging early shot as South Korea took time to settle into their rhythm. Qatar players celebrate their win over Iraq in the Asian Cup yesterday. At right coach Felix Sanchez shows his joy. But from the half-hour Son started to make his presence felt with some typi- cally direct running which caused panic SPOTLIGHT in the Bahrain defence. South Korea broke the deadlock two minutes from half-time, when Son laid off to Lee Yong whose cross was parried by the goalkeeper to Hwang Hee-chan, who snaffled the easy chance.
