bangladesh may be the most densely packed and poorest 150 million person nation but it has more to do with humanity's future than most places - on the risk side it will be washed out if climate goes wrong, on the moral sentiments side nowhere have women set more courageous examples as family and community builders
the country is a cornerstone of mother earth!
brac university
one of abed's last messages to the university
brac university was started in 2001
like many institutions founded by sir fazle, the university is designed to double its impact every two or three years- on the one hand it aims to deeply appreciate its students - their place in life - perhaps more than any other university- on graduating in the 2020s a student should intend to more than double the impact of her peer networks every 2.5 years if there is to be a sustainability generation; prepare to explote how much old stuff becomes redundant even as part of society fear the unprecedented speed of innovation
on the other hand the university wasnt just about the prospects of its students or faculty but the whole nation and the nations impact on women empowerment and sdg partnerships everywhere- before sir fazle abed parted from mother earth, he'd built the largest civic society partnership in the world and the university can be seen to be youths networking connections everywhere that the younger half of the world are trying to become the first sustainability generation; in this regard abed's role in founding brac can be compared with that of stanford junior- the 5th governor of california having lost his son to an infectious disease during a tour of europe committed the rest of his life to every californian child- stanford was to continue that as probably the only university in the west where moores law of 100 times more tech eash decade looks as if it is happening monthly
if this sounds a big ask for a university out of dhaka, consider 3 movements abed put the university at the epicente of now that brac research had a university platform in addition to its original village platforms 5.1 5.2 and 1996 bracnet 5.3
436 the james grant college was opened from the start- this to be the home of the world leadhing helath knowledge brac women had networked from the day they started marketing the nations cholera lab invention of oral rehydration
next abed wanted to develop both for finance and for education the first way in - if his global legacy included partnerships with a financial services solution for people 1.3 too poor to use microfinance and for the earliest age 4.5 children can school; then brac would succeed in being the cornerstone of wherever education and finance takes hunans hopefuly sustainable journey into millennium 3
in posts 4.4 we collate info on the origin of the university; in 5.4 we look at the university as a collab platform for the last 20 years of abed's life and the legacy he hoped all abed partners and students would advance
