According to Mr. Arifur Rahman, the school director, it is their mission to set up an independent child rehabilitation center for education for orphans and homeless children which is the purpose of HPF School and to set up a hospital to make medical treatment available for the poor.

Mr. Asif Chowdhury, Honorary Consul General of Chile to Bangladesh, a regular patron of HPF organized a donation of “Rickshaw” (a vehicle similar to a three-wheeled bicycle, having a seat for passengers behind the driver), in behalf WCH and Princess Amor. “I believe in the sustainable donation instead of a one-time relief gifts. I know by giving them Rickshaw, they have a sustainable income to help support their school.”, confidently said by Mr. Asif.

Princess Maria on her assessment of the visit to HPF, “I think Mr. Chowdhury’s idea of giving the school Rickshaw was very innovative, this will guarantee additional income for HPF.

They bring hope to the less fortunate, HPF is a pride of Bangladesh.”, testified by Amor.
