Another seven days of bringing positive change
This one goes out to all of you who have been voicing up about the amount of paper being used in our BLUE organisation. We have just gotten a little GREENER!!!
(Defn not from envy but from steps that are enviable)
Cheers to Sharif and Mohiuddin Bhai‛S and their teams for bringing about some ‘GREEN CHANGE‛ PUN intended For those of you who haven‛t been following your mail too closely, you can now electronically fill and submit your UN ID request and Travel Authorisation. So save some paper and do your part for a greener future and please do give us a shout if you have other geat ideas!!! While we are talking about changes in behaviours and practices... take a moment to watch “Bombay Mirror”. The short film starring Rajkummar Rao and Vijay Maurya, and directed by Shlok Sharma will take only three minutes of your time. The film irrespective of the religions portrayed is a telling take on the irrationality of any communal violence. So let‛s give a shout out to our colleagues in the PTIB project who are striving to protect and facilitate harmony in Bangladesh by working to prevent violent extremism. Those of you who are on the longer version of the holidays and are not back in Dhaka or your stations yet, remember to travel safe on your way back, There is a lot of pressure at the end of any holiday so here are some tips to make the return better and safer... If you are travelling by land, make sure the vehicle is in good condition and that the driver has had ample amount of sleep and is in good health.
P.S.
If you are coming by air, make sure to tag your luggages properly and spread out copies of your travel documents and emergency contact numbers in your belongings so you at least have a copy in case they or your cellphone get lost.
If you are travelling by water, make sure the vessel is not overloaded and has sufficient amount of lifejackets and buoys.
Remember the UNDP family you left behind are eagerly waiting for your return so we can get back to making positive changes for a better Bangladesh ALSO, ON A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE... REMEMBER TO BRING BACK CURRIES!!!
