MoreThe Optimists, a non-profit, a self-motivated, volunteer driven, international charity organization, was founded in October 6, 2000. It is a 501 ( C ) ( 3 ) organization and contribution is tax exempt ( US resident only ). It is also registered with the Charities Bureau, office of the NYS Attorney General. The Optimists is also duly registered under NGO Bureau, Government of Bangladesh. The Organization is run and managed by a Board of Directors in USA and a Country Executive Committee in Bangladesh nominated by the Principal Executive Committee of the organization. There are a few volunteers in UK and Canada who are also coordinating the activities. Amenities and opportunities that are established as a birth right in the developed world, such as food, shelter, education, medical care, access to clean water and sanitation etc., are distant dream for many countries in the world. Those of us who have our roots in Bangladesh have witnessed these stark realities with overwhelming sadness. Children, mother, and seniors are some of the worst victims of such all-pervasive poverty. The volunteers of The Optimists believes that they have a responsibility, the will and the ability to make a difference in the lives of the distressed, dispossessed and deprived Children of Bangladesh. The Optimists is convinced and committed that they can bring HOPE TO THE HOPELESS with a helping hand from those who are blessed with privilege. The primary objective of The Optimists is to salvage the Bangladeshi children whose hopes, possibilities and future have been snatched by poverty, broken families, lost parents and numerous anomalous social conditions. There is a huge reservoir of people of goodwill and means, and a heart full of love, sympathy and generosity around the world. Our organization will act as a conduit to channel the love, sympathy and generosity for the needy children of Bangladesh. The Optimists constantly needs your financial support to achieve its goal, irrespective of your ethnic, national or religious background. Tax-deductible contributions will be for the benefits of distress children. In addition, we also request you to contribute, financially and/or otherwise.
