Hygiene refers to the set of practices perceived by a community to be associated with the preservation of health and healthy living. While in modern medical sciences there are a set of standards of hygiene recommended for different situations, what is considered hygienic or not can vary between different cultures, genders and etarian groups. Some regular hygienenical practices may be considered good habits by a society while the neglect of hygiene can be considered disgusting, disrepectful or even threatening.
our vision is to create a Hygienic environment.

I got a good team and some good friends in that time. we were close ties with one another and friendly. There are some extra contribution of some mates, really that ought to get some extra credit also. We are really proud of them. A speech for someone “If you be a good person, then you have to quality to recognize also some good person”. Continuation would be…
Little Green People
Posted by Tahmida on April 8th, 2011They are everywhere. Or rather, WE are.
As soon as I stepped off the train at Kamalapur Rail Station, I caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking T-shirt. I had a Tweety moment just then. A double take followed by that “I thought I thaw a puttycat” feeling. And then I realized- I did! I did see a green T-shirt!
This time it was the second batch of Juniors that I had run into. Before long, I was part of their Earthquake Awareness Campaign. Later in the evening, two other batch mates turned up at Rabindra Shorobar, completely out of the blue. It got me thinking- BYLC is BIG.
These days, BYLC seems to pop up everywhere I go. It’s on the cover of Star Campus with my morning cup of tea, on the radio as I tune in during the afternoon traffic jam-BBLT members are all over the place. I’ll bump into a facilitator, or stop to chat with a batch mate no matter where I am… And of course, the network grows larger every day. Just last Thursday, a friend told me how she saw me in the Batch 5 documentary on YouTube. Someone I barely knew called to ask about BBLT 6 admissions. As I tell her about all the essay-writing and nerve-jangling interview sessions, I think ‘wow, I’m so lucky to be part of this!’

Politics and Leadership
Posted by Amiya Atahar on March 5th, 2011This panel was chaired by Dr. Amena Mohsin. She started off with a story of Rabindranath Tagore, where he felt the distance technology created between us and our roots. She expressed her surprise at the number of growing youngsters preferring MBAs over studying politics and leadership, distancing themselves from such learning. She asked us to think about where we want to see Bangladesh; our vision for ourselves and our country.
She then introduced Mahi B. Chowdhury, former member of Parliament. He thanked BYLC for calling him to speak on a platform for politics, rather than culture, as he is usually invited to.

Media and Journalism at Youth Leadership Summit
Posted by Amiya Atahar on March 4th, 2011Farah Kabir:
Shared her background as a media person. Her father was a journalist who was taken away by the Pakistani army during the war. Her family were in anxiety, but some of his international friends, who were also journalists, helped to rescue him. She had access to the biggest media personalities in Bangladesh from her childhood. She has experienced the war from very close.
She told a story about a journalist who was not afraid to sacrifice his life of the love of journalism. He said “Even if I die, the footage will last forever”, this inspired her to become a journalist. Working in the media requires a lot of courage. One has to face a lot of resistance and criticisms as well as pressure from influential people. She talked about how well Munni Shaha is doing in ATN Bangla. She talked about the importance of media which relays the news from all the nook and corners of the country to the general people. Farah Kabir is an optimist, she believes nothing is impossible, she wants us to be proud Bangladeshis and believe that we can can win the world. That’s the attitude which is required. She said, do whatever you can do for the country. Each and every samall contribution matters. The first step in your journey is a step towards your destiny.
