Another seven days of bringing positive change
This week started off with a huge cake for all our birthday boys and girls from August. Tahmina Tamanna, Asma Sultana, Shaikh Munir Hossain, and Ahmed Imran Mustafa refused to celebrate their old age with a dance, but Tania Noor delivered a melodious performance of Tomar Khola Haway. The final birthday boy of August, Shah Zahidur Rahman was missed. We hope someone saved a piece of cake for him. Tania Noor‛s week might have started off on a (literally) high note, but it has been going downhill since, because she has had to go back to the classroom after many, many years. UNDP has partnered with British Council to train 20 employees on business communication. They‛re doing homework, taking notes, and complaining about all of it. After all, re-learning everything from writing emails to proposals, does take a toll on you. Let‛s step out of the highs and lows of Tania Noor‛s life for a while and concentrate on what we will really be doing when the world is shaking. Our NRP programme signed an MoU on 04 September with municipalities of Tangail, Sunamganj and Rangamati. They will be working with these extremely earthquake vulnerable municipalities to help them take into account earthquake preparedness and risk management while making development plans. LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND!!! We are stronger when we work together... and as a part of our teambuilding excercise, we spent Thursday working seriously in recluse at one of the greenest (keep this word in your mind) areas of Agargaon tucked away in the belly of this concrete city. In-Day!!! We cleaned our messes, covered areas of possible collaboration, our overarching targets, had great food courtesy of Sudipto Da, met with Leonardo Di Caprio and got introduced to the newest and youngest unit on the UNDP block - the Research Facility (TRF).
P.S.
So when we were housekeeping last Thursday, one of the things that came to our notice was the INSANE amount of paper that were thrown out. We are working for a GREENER world and we should be RESPONSIBLE... If we have so much paper to throw out... then there is something really amiss. So in line with our green office session, LET‛S REDUCE PAPER USE!!!
