The British Queen, Elizabeth II, will honour a Bangladesh in a ceremony in London tomorrow in recognition to his taking a lead in transforming the lives of others and making a lasting difference in his community. The British monarch will present Queen’s Young Leaders Award to Osama Bin Noor, a 25-year-old from Bangladesh, at the Buckingham Palace, said a press release issued by the British High Commission in Dhaka yesterday.
As the Commonwealth celebrates the Queen’s 90th birthday, award winner Osama Bin Noor has been recognised by The Queen for taking the lead in making a lasting difference in his community. He has been recognised for co-founding Youth Opportunities, an online platform advertising scholarships, internships and conferences.
As a Queen’s Young Leader, he will be representing Bangladesh as he joins winners from 45 different Commonwealth countries in London for five days of high-level engagements, all designed to help them further their life-changing work.
Before receiving their Queen’s Young Leaders Award at Buckingham Palace, the winners will visit 10 Downing Street and the UK headquarters of global social networking company Twitter, and meet with senior executives at the BBC World Service. They will also meet the Commonwealth Secretary General, take part in workshops at the University of Cambridge, have meetings with UK business leaders, and visit projects that are changing the lives of vulnerable people in the UK.
