Faridpur, October 24, 2025 — Samprity Aid Foundation organized an Advocacy Meeting to Promote the Rights of the River Gypsy (Bede) Community at the Samprity Training Hall, bringing together 30 members of the Bede community along with representatives from government and non-government organizations.
