The focus country this time is Sri Lanka - a country which has been in full development since the armed conflict came to an end earlier this year.

2010 03 18 We are happy to announce that the Dunya affiliate India Business Support is currently opening offices in Gurgaon, the business hub of New Delhi.

2010 15 03 Dunya acquires India Business Support, a brand which for many years had been jointly held by Bert Verdonck and Francis Laleman. With this, IBS is further developing into a one stop shop for everyone doing business in and/or with India, and Dunya initiates its first country specific business unit. Dunya intends to quickly move to creating more country specific intercultural management business units for the other BRIC countries and their neighbouring countries.

 

2010 02 16 Dunya sponsors Haiti Lavi and invites its clients to do likewise. In Haiti, says the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, our immediate priority is to save lives. The critical needs in Haiti are great, but they are also simple: food, water, shelter, and first-aid supplies. The best way concerned citizens can help is to donate funds that will go directly to supplying these material needs. This is why  Dunya cannot remain standing at the side and watch. We sponsor the 1212 concerts at the Bruges City Concert Hall (Concertgebouw).

Further to a journey to the Anand/Jeevan Deep projects in Bodhgaya, Eddy Van Hemelrijck has joined him in creating a structural link between Dunya and Anand, providing Dunya with an additional commitment to CSR.
