Established in Spring 1994, NSUSSC is the only club at NSU whose main objective is to offer assistance to the underprivileged and the unfortunate in the society. With most of the people living below the poverty line, and the country facing an endless barrage of natural calamities, there is almost no end to the societal problems, which are mostly due to the lack of education, money and the lack of facilities and support provided by the government to the poor. Inadequate funds have left cancer and AIDS patients, acid victims, orphans, drug addicts with little or no hope; the situation is simply heartrending. Natural calamities such as floods and cyclones have left many on the breadline – this is the common scenario in Bangladesh. NSUSSC believes that it is a moral duty as citizens of Bangladesh, more importantly as human beings, to help out the people in need. NSUSSC has organized a host of events and initiated many programs to help the afflicted. Field trips to orphanages, children’s hospitals, acid victim rehabilitation centers and homes for the elderly, social awareness seminars on literacy, drugs and AIDS, vaccination and voluntary blood donation programs, charity concerts and photo exhibitions for cancer, donation and relief distribution initiatives for disaster-stricken people and fund-raising drives for patients and the needy are some of the club’s regular activities. Apart from the above programs, NSUSSC also incorporates an element of fun in its activities for the students. It is the first student activity club of NSU to single-handedly organize an annual picnic for over a thousand students and members of the different faculties of NSU. One other program arranged by the club is the Book Exchange Offer, which is just another way of trying to perform social service, but in this case, for the fellow NSUers. NSUSSC is always striving to come up with new ways to help out, contribute to society and aid the destitute with whatever is possible for subsistence. Some of the club’s upcoming programs include free English classes for poor children. Its activities do not only make NSUSSC stand out but also makes NSU proud; NSUSSC is the pride of NSU indeed! With innovative activities to serve the community and a large family of dedicated members, NSUSSC has grown over the years to become one of the most successful, active and popular clubs at NSU!
