Fr. Klause acted as an adviser of Dipshikha. For the sake of its development view under the aegis of his direct supervision and a few German volunteers a youth organization named ‘Shanti – Bangladesh’ was established in Germany. In many regions of Germany including Berlin and Munich development youth groups were made to help Dipshikha development program in Bangladesh. Hundreds of members are there in these groups who are recognized as Friends of Development. They remember Dipshikha through their development activities. They become happy with the joy of Dipshikha people and they feel piety with their sorrow. By the dint of his (Fr. Clause) ceaseless effort many other organizations have come forward to help Dipshikha with money and moral support.
Sepal Chandra Dev Sharma (Area Manager of Dipshikha Rudrapur Area) admired Shanti in his own words as:
- Shanti was born for Dipshikha.
- Shanti is working with Dipshikha.
- Shanti will sustain for Dipshikha.
- Shanti will develop volunteer for Dipshikha.
- Dipshikha is a people’s Organization.
In this respect Mr. Paul Tigga (2008) said, “Philosophically speaking, partnership between Dipshikha and Shanti was agreed to be based on mutual respect and concern and material support from Germany in time of need in Bangladesh. In practical terms Dipshikha and Shanti partnership was thought of as if it was like two pillars rooted in two countries – Germany and Bangladesh. These two pillars hold the ropes through which the rope ways carry the Shanti volunteers to Dipshikha and allow exchange visitors to facilitate the people of the north who are interested to taste the culture and the way of life of the southern people, carry various written and verbal information between the two countries. The south/Dipshikha will arrange for visitors to bring in contact with the southern poor, how the people there live simplest of the simple life and still maintain smile and happiness on their faces. On the other hand, Dipshikha people will learn from Shanti and the north about the working culture of professionalism, accuracy and analytical thinking and how to overcome fatalism and being lethargic. And become more and more analytical and more creative in encountering the problems to alleviate poverty and unemployment. Finally, joint effort was made to building up happy prosperous and peaceful global family. In this regard, think and reflect globally and act locally was accepted as “motto for all Dipshikha-Shanti members”.
