Citi celebrates 10th Annual Global Community Day

Citi celebrated its 10th annual Global Community Day, as more than 80,000 Citi volunteers in 500 cities spanning 93 countries and territories engaged in service activities to benefit their local communities recently, said a statement.

 In the days leading up to and including Global Community Day, Citi colleagues, alumni, clients, family and friends worked side-by-side on more than 1,200 service projects ranging from urban revitalization to literacy and education, career readiness, environmental conservation and disaster relief.

To celebrate the BIG 10 this year in Bangladesh, Citi partnered with the local NGO, HEED Bangladesh, a non-governmental and non-profit, national organization which currently has 22 projects with programs addressing health, education, social and economic development for the poor and the disadvantaged people.

One of HEED Bangladesh's self-dependent project is HEED Handicrafts (a Fair Trade Organization), which was established in 1978.
