Toitomboor, meaning “full to the brim” in Bangla, has been the leading children and juvenile monthly magazine in Bangladesh since its first publication in January 1992. Although primarily a Bangla magazine, it has got an international section in English called “CHUM” . Besides the publication of the magazine, Toitomboor has involved itself in children’s publication and products, child health, childhood blindness, child rights, child development, environment, promotion of book reading, children’s events and competitions, children with disability, children’s education and so on. EduAid, BookAid, HealthAid, Toitomboor Children's Benevolent Fund (TCBF), Vision 2020 Volunteer Corps (VVC) are some of Toitomboor's multifaceted ventures to name.
Despite its limited resources, Toitomboor has been continuing its endeavours by adhering to a simple approach: “think big, start small.”
This blog is launched to commemorate 19th year of Toitomboor, with the intentions as follows:
1. To meet or bring together the people from all over the world who would like to think, write, work, draw and speak for the children or reminisce their childhood.
2. To be united and help each other everyway possible and leverage our united voice, our expertise, our experiences and our ideas for our children who are our future.
3. To provide an open forum to discuss any topic related to children and the youth and the items published in Toitomboor.
We acknowledge gratefully the inspiration from two of our writers and well-wishers Mr Abu Reza from Dhaka, Bangladesh and Dr Nobbir Ahmed from California, USA by which we planned to make use of blogging.
This is also to mention that this blog is launched on 4 July, 2010 from California, USA from the home computer of Dr Nobbir Ahmed who is hosting the Toitomboor tour made by Mr Hasnain Sabih Nayak, International Relations & Culture Editor, TOITOMBOOR.
Please inform your friends of this blog and send your ideas, concepts, thoughts and feedback.
Thank you.
