CCDB to mark golden jubilee with month-long programmes
The Christian Commission for Development Bangladesh (CCDB) has taken month-long programmes to mark its golden jubilee (50 years) anniversary.
To commemorate this milestone, CCDB has planned a series of events and activities throughout the month, sources at CCDB said.
Earlier today, the grand ceremony of its golden jubilee was held at CCDB-HOPE Foundation in Baroipara area of Dhaka's Savar.
Dr John Sircar, principal of Bangladesh Theological Seminary and College in Chattogram, David A Halder, chairman of CCDB Commission, and Juliate Keya Malakar, executive director of CCDB, inaugurated the event.
"Five decades ago, a group of visionaries started CCDB's journey to rehabilitate the war-torn people of Bangladesh. In these 50 years, we have involved numerous people and communities in our development journey and we continue to work on poverty alleviation, inequality and environmental issues that are disrupting the lives of the people," Juliate Keya Malakar said in her welcome speech.
"This 50-year journey, a milestone in the life of CCDB, will be celebrated centrally and with significance in various project areas of CCDB, as a compelling opportunity to remember the past, focus on the present and plan for the future," said David A Halder.
For 50 years, CCDB has been a beacon of hope, compassion, and progress in the community that they are serving, having impacted the lives of countless individuals through the relentless efforts of its members and partners.
