CDSB

CDSB is a voluntary development organization that was established on 6 October 2006, as a consequence of outstanding social effort by a group of indigenous young peoples. It envisages to an equitable and just society where peoples have overcome poverty and able to fulfill basic needs, and their rights are established.
Again we have to say, CDSB is an organization that started works by a group of young people on voluntary basis. It works with volunteers in line with professional. As a voluntary organization its try to promote the spirit of volunteerism among possible individuals or groups because volunteers play a significant role changing the society through exchanging their ideas, knowledge and experience. In addition, volunteer program helps to facilitate in exchange of information between people especially youth from North and South countrie s.
CDSB, therefore, would like to start this exchange program so that interested individual get this scope to know about Bangladeshi socio-culture fact and able to put his/her worth contribution therein. This is a collaborative process and we offer our collaboration to those individual to take the opportunity and to be glorious part of our effort for development. The aim of volunteering is mainly to exchange of knowledge, idea and information of people from multi-cultural status. Any body can learn a lot by participating as a volunteer in our programs and projects. Volunteers are collected from home and abroad
Any individual having valid passport (in case of outsider) may join us. S/he can work in any field, depending on their qualifications and area of own interest. More over interns are placed according to the requirements of their sponsoring organization. The minimum stay in the organization is one month. We feel, sharing experience of our work with people from different countries and cultures is to be very impressive. CDSB may get significant help from voluntary worker, which is not yet predicted. The basic idea of this program is to make interested people become individually responsible for the improvement of the human society, promote the warning culture and building brotherhood.
Let's try to make the society developed, just and peaceful.
