It was a clear sky morning when suddenly the whole world witnessed and was shocked by the cruelty of fanatic persons which brought down the milestone of modern human civilization in New York in the form of World Trade Centre. The sufferings befallen to the Victims by this maniac mind is a shame to the humanity. This led to the formation of the movement name FRIENDS.
All of our members, donors, supporters have proven the “power of one” – that each individual, working in the context of their life can, and does, make a difference, and that such individual efforts added together makes a lasting change.
We don't have any control on the wishes of GOD or the thoughts of a maniac mind, but we can join our hands together to reduce the sufferings of those who suffers from these disasters and give them a road map to start their life afresh. Let us all join hands to take the movements to each and every parts of the world, so that we may not have power to eradicate their sufferings but at least we can reduce the impacts. Who knows what disasters is waiting for our turn to suffer. Because tomorrow it can be our loved ones who might be needing FRIENDS.

It was a tea break and just a fine morning in the office. Our founders were enjoying the break over the Coffee table discussing various issues. Then suddenly the News Flash in the TV at the Cafeteria brought shivers in the spine of all those who were present there. Suddenly there was Gloom all over the place as if whole sky has fallen there. The heart throbbing scenes of the disaster and the mental picture of the affected peoples sufferings brought tears in the eyes of the people silently watching the news clip in the room. There was only the sound of breath and cries in the air of the cafeteria.
The agony of the sufferers in the incident affected the founder Ratul Kalita, that he decided to do whatever he can for the sufferers of such disasters. Next day he had discussions with his well wishers Rajesh S. Pyngavil, Arun Bakshi, Nishant Manchanda, Binay Mahapatra and all of them decided to form a forum to assist in the rehabilitation for the peoples who suffers from Human engineered and Natural disasters. That idea slowly formed the Free Rehabilitation In Engineered & Natural Disasters Society (FRIENDS).
Initially their office were in the living rooms of the members. In the meantime they found that its the disaster management and effective rehabilitation management required to reduce the impact of such unforeseen disasters and decided to be in a role of bridge between the affected people and the resource donating persons and organizations. They decided to form a movement by taking every people in the way of contributing - his time, money, skills or thoughts which will make the difference.
