Club - Bangladeshi Organization of Networking, Diversity, Heritage, Unity and Support

The BONDHUS is dedicated to fostering a sense of home for Bangladeshi students and those interested in Bangladeshi culture. We strive to provide mentorship, build cultural awareness, and offer assistance with college admissions, including hosting events in Bangladesh related to Northeastern University. Our mission is to create an inclusive community that celebrates and promotes the rich heritage of Bangladesh while providing support and growth opportunities for our members. Our target membership includes Bangladeshi international undergraduates and graduates, Bangladeshi diaspora-born undergraduates and graduates, and non-Bangladeshi undergraduates and graduates interested in our culture and mission. We plan to host a wide range of events and initiatives, including:

• Cultural Celebrations: We will honor significant Bangladeshi events such as Pohela Boishakh (New Year’s Day), Ekushe February (International Mother Language Day), and Shadhinota Dibosh (Independence Day).
• Festive Gatherings: Observing cultural festivals like Eid and Puja, allowing members to share these joyous occasions together.
• Food-Based Events: Showcasing the vibrant and diverse Bangladeshi cuisine through cooking demonstrations, food festivals, and shared meals.
• Collaborations with Other BSAs: Building strong connections with other Bangladesh Student Associations to enhance cultural exchange and support.
• Fundraising Initiatives: Organizing events to support causes related to education and community development in Bangladesh.

In conclusion, the BONDHUS aims to be a vibrant hub that nurtures a sense of belonging, celebrates cultural identity, and provides avenues for personal and professional growth. Through our planned activities and initiatives, we hope to create a dynamic and supportive community that connects Bangladesh with the broader academic landscape.
