Winter has arrived; the perfect season for sitting in the balcony with a cup of hot coffee. But the scenario is not the same for everyone. For many people, winter is the synonym for misery. The shelter-less people suffer for extreme cold in silence. They cannot afford to buy winter clothes to keep them warm. Apparently, the educated and affluent people of the society manage to overlook their misery.
In 2011, ‘Tour De force’ -a voluntary organization run by students of department of Tourism and Hospitality Management of University of Dhaka decided to spread the warmth of humanity among those in need. They distributed warm clothes among the helpless people in different areas of Northern part of the country. From then to till now, every year Tour De force tries to share winter happiness by giving warm blankets to the unprivileged people of the country.
Ever year, the campaign starts with a phase of collecting money by the students from the streets.
Next, they visit the area of distribution to observe the real scenario, and lastly distribute the tokens and blankets to the needy people.

Tour de force believes that, This attempt might not alleviate all their problems, but may decrease their sufferings to a little, and give society a chance to think humanly.
