The lives and experiences of the volunteers, students and faculty are chronicled and shared on this blog regularly, but did you know that you could also stay up to date with the Bangladesh Health Project through photographs?

They say that pictures are worth a thousand words, and indeed, the photos shared on our Flickr site hold a wealth of information that we haven’t yet began to blog about!  Pictures of celebrations, Bangladesh living, the classroom setting and much more can be found at our Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bangladesh_healthproject/.

United Nations Award for IUBAT Founder

Professor M. Alimullah Miyan, Founder and Vice Chancellor of IUBAT, received the prestigious Flagship Project Award from United Nations University in November for creating the report, “Knowledge Based Area Development (KBAD)”, which aims to break the vicious cycle of poverty in Bangladesh through building a prosperous society based on capacity-building.

The primary objective of KBAD is to ensure that young people from all over Bangladesh have the opportunity to gain higher education in marketable knowledge and career skills.
