The Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB), which started its journey to rebuild war-torn Bangladesh five decades ago, has completed 50 years. On this occasion, the organization has inaugurated a month-long program on Saturday to celebrate the golden jubilee.
A grand opening ceremony was held at CCDB HOPE Foundation at Baroipara of Ashulia in Savar at 11am.
Speakers at the inaugural ceremony said CCDB has been a beacon of compassion and hope for the people in these 50 years. Over the past five decades, the organization has been able to make an impact on people’s lives through the tireless efforts of its members and partners. By celebrating 50 years, CCDB is recalling its service and journey.
“We are also grateful to all those involved in this journey, through whom they have been able to reach this milestone and which is inspiring the new generation to carry forward this torch of development. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its journey, CCDB has planned a series of events throughout the month,” the speakers added.
At the beginning of the event, CCDB Executive Director Juliate Keya Malakar welcomed everyone to the celebration of 50 years of CCDB.
Juliate Malakar said: “CCDB started its journey five decades ago with the aim of rehabilitating the war-torn people of Bangladesh in the light of the dream seen by a group of visionaries. In these 50 years, we have been able to involve countless people and communities in our development journey. We are currently working to address poverty alleviation, inequality and environmental issues of the poorest of the poor. ”
CCDB Commission Chairman David A Halder said: “This 50-year journey is a milestone for CCDB. For CCDB, this celebration is a productive opportunity to remember the past, focus on the present and plan for the future. This anniversary is going to be celebrated centrally and with significance in various project areas.”
