Friends of Bangladesh

Friends are like a bouquet of flowers with different hues and fragrances. No matter the apparent differences, a true friend will stand by his/her friend in times of crisis and lend a hand of support and comfort. As the genocide of the millions of people in Bangladesh continued by the invading military, the people of conscience from around the world stood by the suffering people and became Friends of Bangladesh. The spirit of the Bangladesh liberation movement was reflected in the actions of the friends of Bangladesh who, in support of justice and peace, crossed the borders of race, religion, culture, and nationality. We offer our deepest gratitude to these Friends of Bangladesh. Please click here for further information on Friends of Bangladesh.

George Harrison's benefit concert for Bangladesh, 1971

"My Friend came to me with sadness in his eyes,

 Told me that he wanted help

  Before his country dies.

Although I couldn't feel the pain,

I knew I had to try-

Now I 'm asking all of you

To help us save some lives'

Bangladesh,Bangladesh....."

George Harrison sang the above song,which he specially wrote  for The Concert for Bangladesh.
