IUBAT Alumni Travels Internationally Promoting Local NGO

Noor Sabez, an IUBAT graduate is now working for the NGO, Socio Economic Development Association for Disabled (SEDAD) as well as working as a community health nurse throughout Bangladesh. He writes, "My responsibilities are to lead some projects and coordinate the staff and administrative work such as proposal writing, concept note writing, report writing, letter writing to donor organizations etc. However, I am also doing community health education and a general heath checkup program to the disabled, destitute, disadvantaged, distressed and poor communities in different districts of Bangladesh. Currently we are planning to provide physiotherapy to the physically disabled persons.  I am enjoying it very much and also have some opportunity to perform internationally. I went to Italy to give a presentation in a congress about the Social Impacts on Medical Practice in Bangladesh. It was a wonderful experience in my life that I performed internationally which leads me to be more confident as I am so young. The main purposes of us to visit different countries are to do training, meeting with donor organization and giving presentation about our activities etc".

Noor is looking forward to possibly going to Japan for physiotherapy training in the coming months. Congratulations on your accomplishments Noor and best of luck in the future!
