History


The NGO arises from the encounter of its two founding members in 2004: Marc Van Peteghem (President) and Yves Marre (Vice-President).[2]


A friendship was born between these two men who share the same values and results in several projects.


Together they developed the concept of floating ambulance in Bangladesh,[3][4] for the floating hospitals of Friendship (NGO), and produced the first unsinkable boats for the fishermen of the country.[5]
In 2010,[6] they created NGO Watever with Alain Connan and Gérald Similowski[1] to support the development of shipbuilding industry in Bangladesh, working on innovation and transfer of technologies.


Bangladesh is considered as the pilot country where NGO Watever can study and finalize various solutions that could be replicated in countries with similar issues.

In R, how to develop a multiplot heatmap.2 figure showing key labels successfully
