ARC Regional Convening 2025, Bangladesh - My Experience

[Dalia Roy]

The GFC 4-day South Asia Regional Convening was truly an unforgettable experience. The coordination between the organisational teams from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, along with the efforts of the field facilitators, organizational heads, and all the development workers, left a deep impression on me. The respect, warmth, and sense of intimacy I experienced during those days touched my heart profoundly. I was amazed by the spirit of collaboration, the rich learning experiences, and the openness with which knowledge was shared. It deepened my understanding and strengthened my ability to contribute toward fulfilling the organizational vision and the dreams of the communities we serve.
What stood out to me even more was the sense of unity — each representative and participant was aligned with the same goal: the sustainable development of our communities. Although the journey we are on is challenging, I truly believe that with this spirit of collaborative participation, we will be able to achieve remarkable and lasting results together.
