SUB arranges seminar titled "Way to Women Economic Empowerment"
Labaid Group and State University of Bangladesh (SUB) jointly organised a seminar on March 7, 2020 titled "Way to Women Economic Empowerment" in occasion of International Women's Day at Scholars Inn,Dhaka.

In her presentation, she said that a project called Swapdana has been launched to create new women entrepreneurs on behalf of the Labaid Foundation.

PHIS students participate in leadership camp in Habiganj
A total of 38 students from Pledge Harbor International School (PHIS), ranging from grades 6 to 12 took part in a three-day camp organised by Leadership Camp Jogodishpur. The students along with four staff members travelled to Madhupur, Habiganj and were welcomed by Camp Leader Adnan Chowdhury and his team.
The students were put into groups and received their itineraries for the three days, along with the camp rules, etiquettes and learned about the activities that they would participate in. Some activities the students engaged in were: climbing trees and fruit picking, preparing campfires, and setting up tents. The mornings started with yoga exercises; they also helped prepare their own meals and wash up after they were done. Along with learning basic survival skills, the students were also able to explore the local area. They paid a visit to an orphanage where they learned about the lifestyle and education system in rural Bangladesh. On the third day, they visited Satchari National Park and took part in a two-hour trek through the amazing forest escorted by a local guide.
The purpose of this trip was to allow the students to understand the importance of teamwork, self-dependence, appreciate nature, and know our obligation towards the world we live in. Instilling values as such is crucial to Pledge Harbor's ethos as we strive to build future leaders. The trip taught the students how to harbour new skills within their own arsenal to become both independent learners and cooperative workers. It allowed them to appreciate their privileges and what nature has to offer to become creative and compassionate thinkers. Expanding the realm of their experiences to the world around them helped equip our students to make the world their learning ground to become lifelong learners.
