BACKGROUND
The name of our charity derives from Bengali folklore. The first generation of Bangladeshi people often expressed ‘crossing seven oceans and thirteen rivers’ to reach the UK. Their descendants today have chosen the name of the charity after this expression as a way of honouring their sacrifice. Our motivation is to preserve the positive legacies of our parents and of generations gone by.
