On August 1, 1971, a major concert for aid to Bangladesh was organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar at Madison Square Garden in New York. Well-known artists selflessly contributed to do something for the country that suffered so much from the effects of Cyclone Bhola (1970) and the struggle for independence. (The independent state of Bangladesh became a reality in March 1971). As a student, Prof. Dr. Lex Peters, founder of the Female Cancer Foundation, was impressed by one of the first concerts organized to assist people who had lost almost everything. Awareness and solidarity, which does not stop at the door of your house or the borders of your country.
