Houston Bangladeshi Community organized an elaborate program with other local community organizations to observe the International Mother Language Day on February 23, 2008 at the Bangladesh-American Center. Hundreds of people from different ethnic group participated in the day long program. This is the first time we have celebrated large scale program at the Bangladesh-American Center and we are grateful to all who made this possible. Representative from Congressman Nick Lampson, Mr. Adeel Zeb, Councilman Peter Brown and many others join in the traditional morning rally. Proclamation from Congressman Nick Lampson was presented to proclaim the International Mother Language Day. The program was highlighted by cultural presentation from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. Bangla Documentaries were shown to highlight the rich cultural heritage of Bangladesh. The biggest success of the program was children art competition where more than 55 kids participated in three different groups. For More photos, go to our Photo Gallery
