Another seven days of bringing positive change
This week starts on a sad note... Our favourite Illuminate is near the end of her assignment here and will be leaving us soon. She will be heading to Dar es Salaam for her daughter‛s marriage after this. We do not know if any of our colleagues complained about not being able to go to the marriage but Illuminate‛s choice of food for her farewell treat has us speculating... See the picture Biryani!!! This is also proof that at least SOMEONE is reading the Week... When we joked about filling big shoes after Imran Bhai‛s treat, Illuminate seems to have take us seriously... there was an abundance of food that all our sources vouched could fill them up to their necks. Jokes aside, Illuminate, you will be missed... and our heartiest Congratulations to your daughter!!! On Monday, a new chapter of partnering for the goals was opened at the Westin, Dhaka. UNDP organised a roundtable with members of the top management of private sector leaders like Unilever and Rahimafrooz to explore how they could contribute to achieving the SDGs. Not only was the day-long discussion very positive, they also agreed to be part of a platform, formed on that very day, to strengthen private-public partnership for achieving the Goals. So, SDGs, here we come!!! This is for those of you who were overjoyed at the picture of Van‛s ‘Pahari melai hariye jawa jomoj1 bon‛ on Wednesday. Sorry to let you down but it was Van herself. Although it looked like she was having fun and enjoying herself, Van was actually there alongwith Sudipto for the launch of Activating Village Courts in Bangladesh (AVCB) Phase -II in the Chittagong hill tracts. The project which has done tremondously in improving the access to justice for disadvantaged and marginalised groups of people in the plains, will now be working in the hills also taking us one step closer to LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND. 1
Footnote - Hariye Jawa Jomoj is a recurrent prot in Bengali cinema where twins get separated in a crowded place and one of them is tragically lost only to magically re-enter the plot when all grown up.
P.S.
Our cameras caught this duo cooking something up in the washroom on 18th floor. Their actions looked very fishy and although we checked the footage repeatedly, we could not find out what they were up to. WHAT WERE THEY DOING?
Please, we need everybody‛s help... especially after Sudipto‛s mail about keeping washrooms clean. So we are sharing the footage with you. Click on the link and if you can find anything we overlooked... PLEASE INFORM US!!!
