The Daily Star published a feature report titled “A Briton with a Bangladeshi heart” on December 30, 2017. Lucy Helen, the lady in question, partook in numerous humanitarian works in our country during the liberation war. She is currently teaching English for free at a school in Barisal.

In light of the above facts, we request the government to award her Bangladeshi citizenship. With her decades of service, she has earned this, to say the least. She is so in love with this land that she wishes to be buried in Bangladesh. We should respect and honour our true friends.
