Friendship celebrated 10 years presence of Friendship International in Luxembourg with the support of Banque de Luxembourg. From its humble beginnings, Friendship has been working to restore the dignity of marginalised communities in Bangladesh by delivering effective development solutions using a holistic value-based approach.
They have played a vital role in facilitating Friendship's work in Bangladesh to raise funds for projects and most importantly build strong relationships with societies who have contributed so generously towards Friendship. In this context, a partnership such as the one that has been built between Friendship Luxembourg and Friendship Bangladesh and the impact that it has, on a daily basis, on the lives of tens of thousands of people far from, yet close to home, is indeed an element of hope.
The occasion was honored by the presence of Her Royal Highness, Grande-Duchesse Maria Teresa. Marc Elvinger, chairman of Friendship Luxembourg, co-chairman of Friendship International delivered the welcome speech. While Runa Khan, founder and executive director of Friendship Bangladesh and co-chair of Friendship International presented the Friendship Model - Nurturing Dignity and Hope.
A short film titled ‘"The Voice Bangladesh" directed by Vito Labalestra was screened at the event. During the event, donors presented their testimonies and volunteering doctors shared their experiences at Friendship. More than 220 invitees were present at the event.
