It's been a while since BEN published their last newsletter. We are happy to inform you that BEN activities continued in full swing in the meantime. We had a new Global Coordinator in 2022. Congratulations Dr. Md. Khalequzzaman, the new GC of BEN. We also thanks Dr. Saleh Tanveer our outgoing GC who continue to do great work for BEN in various areas including his key role in our fundraising. Our new GC has already started reorganizing BEN chapters at various corners of the world. A committee led by Dr. Ahmed Badruzzaman is formed to reinvigorate the BEN expert panels. BEN started a bimonthly webinar series in 2022 inaugurated with a keynote on water issues from Dr. Nazrul Islam, the founder of BEN. Monthly BEN meetings are held now every month. BAPA and BEN is on the roll working for a special conference, like all other years, and a rally in Dhaka at the Central Shaheed Minar, the first of its kind in the history of BAPA. |
