The Bangladesh Rehabilitation and Assistance Center for Addicts (BARACA), a church-run organization, won a State Award for drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation services on the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
Archbishop Kavin Randall, Apostolic Nuncio, visited a Catholic-run de-addiction center, the Bangladesh Rehabilitation and Assistance Center for Addicts (BARACA), on April 25.
