Halim also enjoys playing football. World Vision Bangladesh seeks to create an atmosphere in local communities that will allow them to grow towards self sufficiency. World Vision Bangladesh seeks to succeed in this by supporting community activities such as education and healthcare. Executive Director of WVB Fram Jehangir, PHD, explained, "WVB has gradually expanded its activities from child sponsorship to emergency relief and rehabilitation, education, health, income-generation, and economic development". "The purpose of this new approach is to transform whole communities and empower them to become self-supportive through sustainable development programs," he added. "World Vision continues to make a huge impact in developing countries,
or in places of emergency relief," Mark Tahiliani said. "But
World Vision has also built communities beyond that point, to a position
where the people of the area are ready to learn how to sustain themselves
and prosper on their own. This is why we love this program so much and
why we will continue to sponsor children through World Vision for years
to come." |
