Spreeha Winter Social 2019
Spreeha organized its second annual “Winter Social Event” on January 10, 2019 at the Bell Town Dance Studio in Seattle. This event served as a wonderful way to kick off New Year and let some new audience know about Spreeha’s journey. There was a musical performance by local artists, authentic Bangladeshi delicacies, and a silent auction which helped with small scale fundraising.
The evening was filled with an inspiring crowd, music, hearty conversations and successfully pulled together people from the community genuinely caring for our cause. All in all the event was a big success.
International Women’s Day Celebration
Spreeha celebrated International Women's Day standing firmly by this year’s theme “Balance for Better”. Spreeha has been helping to empower women through education, skills training and healthcare.
National Vitamin A Day Observed
On 9th February 2019, the National Vitamin ‘A’ Campaign was observed across the country in Bangladesh. Spreeha's healthcare service "Sneho Diagnostic Center" took a daylong initiative to offer the high-powered Vitamin ‘A’ capsules to local children aged between 6 months to 5 years. A total of 562 children of this age-group were able to get the Vitamin A dosage during this day long initiative.
Tanvir’s Story
Tanvir is a seven year old playful boy, full of life and energy like any other seven year old. However, born in a poor family with a father struggling to make ends meet, his future is uncertain. His father, a street vendor was not willing to send his son to school, Spreeha’s persuasive counselling helped to change his mind and now Tanvir will attend regular school from next year. He now attends Spreeha’s pre- school and loves to dance. In the Bangladeshi culture, young boys taking up dancing is seen as societal taboo. Spreeha has provided a safe place for children like Tanvir to express themselves in their own unique ways and follow their dreams. In Spreeha, there are no discriminations, no one raises an eyebrow, and no one judges.
