Bangladesh Tour 2021 10Th to 20Th Sept YOUR BANGLADESH ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE Bangladesh Tour 2021 10th to 20th Sept YOUR BANGLADESH ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE Join Muslim Charity’s volunteer family, TEAMMC, on its 6th annual volunteer deployment trip to Bangladesh. Soak up the cultural delights while you participate and immerse yourself in all the Children of the World projects in Bangladesh. To join the tour, we simply ask that you book your own flights and pay £450 The trip is in no way a holiday rather it is an emotional roller-coaster that will towards your hotels, food, PCR test in Bangladesh (if required) transport and challenge your purpose and feed your soul. internal flights. The trip has been very carefully organised with experienced staff from the UK and We also humbly ask each participant to raise a minimum of £2,000 excluding any Bangladesh and fully inclusive which means you don’t have to worry about anything. gift aid towards the projects that we will interact with during the tour. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOUR ‘Slum' Schools Sylhet town hosts some of the most expensive real estate in Bangladesh. However, it’s also home to some of the most deprived communities. This community is primarily the hidden work force of Sylhet and made up of low-income families. Most of the families in the slum are disengaged from the mainstream and therefore find it extremely difficult to admit their children to mainstream schooling. The expectation is that once the children are 8-10, they will also contribute financially to the family. Muslim Charity, with your help has started a new school to support these children. It gives access to pre-primary education and prepares them for mainstream schooling. We use informal play techniques to give young people the confidence and social skills they need to benefit from an education. Sylhet You will spend time volunteering at the school shadowing and playing games under the supervision of our champion teachers. Your Bangladeshi adventure with TEAMMC starts in Sylhet. It is one of the most scenic places in all of Bangladesh. Home to lush green paddy fields, beautiful tea estates, crystal clear rivers, and the ancestral home of most British Bangladeshis. The city is located on the right bank of the Surma River in northeastern Bengal. It has a subtropical climate and lush highland terrain. House Building and Livelihood Project Our latest project in Sylhet division is livelihood support to needy families also supporting some families with decent home building. You will have opportunity to visit some of the families in different villages of Sylhet and get to understand first hand the impact your donations can make to the lives of needy people in countries like Bangladesh. Cox’s Bazar Cox’s Bazar is a city, fishing port, tourism centre and district headquarters in southeastern Bangladesh. It is famous mostly for its long natural sandy beach. It is located south of the city of Chittagong. Cox’s Bazar is also known by the name Panowa, which translates literally as “yellow flower”. The beach in Cox’s Bazar is the main attraction of the town with an unbroken length of 150 km (93 mi) also termed the “longest natural unbroken sea beach” in the world. Rohingya Camps Children Homes Cox Bazar is home to over 1 million Rohingya It’s here that we have initiated building the first refugees, you will spend time at our child-friendly permanent children homes. These are homes for former street children who have no family, space providing vital informal education and no home otherwise. support to the children. This oasis is where their healing process will The total number of Rohingya refugees in Cox’s begin and where children can finally be children again. Here you will volunteer for a day working Bazar is around 869,000 individuals. The Rohingya on the project site with our team on the ground refugee population is concentrated in extremely and start understanding the rehabilitation congested camps within Ukhyia and Teknaf process of street children. Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh. The refugees living in the camps are dependent on the assistance provided by the humanitarian community and government of Bangladesh. Since the emergency began, with your help Muslim Charity has been able to provide much- needed humanitarian aid to those refugees fleeing the crisis. We have been able to deliver lifesaving food and medicine to thousands of families; helping them get through the harsh winter months. Dhaka Dhaka is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, filled with history, culture, and fantastic street food. Dhaka is the ninth-largest and the sixth-most densely populated city in the world. The city is full of culture and amazing street food also known for its cycle-rickshaws, art festivals and religious diversity. The old city is home to around 2,000 buildings from the Mughal and British periods. FAQs Street Children You will spend time with outreach workers on the ground shadowing them and learning more about detached work with street children. We will visit some of the sites where children congregate where you will learn more about their lives as well as their struggles. Muslim Charity has been working with street children in Bangladesh for almost 6 years. Along with local ground partners we have established a mechanism to rescue ‘street children’. We have several sites in Dhaka that act as informal schools to engage, track, and encourage children to come off the streets. These are manned by social mobilisers and experienced staff who will rescue children into our transitional shelter. The transitional shelter again based in Dhaka is where children will start their healing process. It’s a safe place where we will start to extract the journey and story of the child as well as develop leads to find their families. The children are kept for a maximum of 6 weeks and if within this time their families are found they are reunited with the support of government agencies. For the children that have no family they are referred onto partner or government orphanages. Daulatdia We will leave central Dhaka for Dauladia which is on the outskirts of greater Dhaka. Dauliadia is home to the largest brothel in the Bangladesh and 4th biggest in the world. It’s often described as a village dedicated to prostitution with estimates of around 3,000 sex workers and 800 children. We will visit a school which caters for the local children and meet mothers from the Brothel. If we deem it safe we will also visit some parts of the Brothel.

Banik 1Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh 2Industrial and Production Engineering Department, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh Received 13 July 2005; revised 20 August 2005; accepted 25 November 2005 ABSTRACT A study of the water quality conditions of Sylhet city of Bangladesh and its restaurants was carried out to assess risks to human health. The investigation was based on questionnaire survey of restaurants and laboratory tests on water samples obtained from the restaurants, tube wells of the city and Surma River the two main sources of water supply to the city. The test parameters were dissolved oxygen; conductance, hardness, pH, temperature, turbidity, essential and trace elements, dissolved and suspended solids and coliform bacteria. The quality of sanitary facilities and handling of food in the restaurants were also examined. It was found that the drinking water of each restaurant was contaminated with fecal coliforms and 25% restaurants had unsafe levels of iron in the water supply. Improper solid waste dumping was found as one of the reasons of groundwater pollution. Statistical analysis based on Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed significant correlation between the extent of groundwater pollution and dumping of solid waste effluents in the immediate vicinity of ground water (tube wells). It was observed that 75.69% (coefficient of determination r2= 0.7569) variation in the value of groundwater near the dumping place showed association with variation in the value of water quality within the dumping place.

In the reservoir condition, water saturation increases as gas production rise. The fluid properties of the four individual gas zones of this reservoir at the present condition and at the gas depleted condition should be addressed with proper prediction. In this paper, we characterize the total reservoir with special emphasis on Upper Gas Zone and New Gas Zone I which are compared with other two gas zones (New Gas Zone III and New Gas Zone II) representing some modeling results (has done before by these authors) which evidences that the pore fluids have a significant effect on the acoustic impedance and the Poisson’s ratio of the reservoir rock which is directly correlated with seismic amplitudes at constant pressure with Batzle-Wang model and Gassman-Boit models.

Corresponding Author: Sumon Chowdhury Abstract: Fenchuganj gas field is located at Surma Basin and 40 km south of Sylhet town. This field is operated by Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX). Gas properties analysis is essential for gas production designing, gas processing, gas transportation and gas handling systems. This study covers the mathematical and graphical calculation to analyze several properties of gas such as molecular weight, gas gravity, gas compressibility factor, gas formation volume factor, gas expansion factor, gas density and gas viscosity of Fenchuganj gas well, FG-2 and FG-3. The gas molecular weight is 16.2979 and 16.395 respectively for FG-2 and FG-3. Specific gas gravity is found 0.5625 for FG-2 and 0.5659 for FG-3. The gas compressibility factor is also determined for FG-2 which is 0.84 for Upper Gas Sand(UGS), 0.91 for Middle Gas Sand(MGS) and 0.92 for Lower Gas Sand(LGS). Similarly for FG-3, gas compressibility is 0.83 for New Gas Sand (NGS-ii) and 0.84 for Upper Gas Sand (UGS). Gas formation volume factor, gas expansion factor and gas density for FG-2 range from 4.73×10-3 to 4.01×10-3 res.ft3 /scf, 211.416 to 249.376 and 9.18 to 10.70 lb/ft3 respectively.

  • Bangladesh Sylhet Combined Cycle Power Plant Construction Project (I) (II)
    Bangladesh Sylhet Combined Cycle Power Plant Construction Project (I) (II) Report Date: September 2002 Field Survey: September 2001 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Site Map: Sylhet District Site Photo: No.2 Gas Turbine 1.1 Background The installed capacity of power generation in Bangladesh was 1,437MW in 1986. More than 90% of the nation’s power was generated by steam turbine, gas turbine or combined cycle power stations, which used domestically available natural gas. With energy consumption per capita of 44kWh (1984) and an electrification ratio of 4.54% (1986), the power sector in Bangladesh was less developed than in other developing countries in Asia. For instance, per capita electric energy consumption was 141kWh in Sri Lanka, 221kWh in Pakistan, 221kWh in India and 132kWh in Indonesia, in 1984. On the other hand, power demand in Bangladesh was growing rapidly, especially peak demand, which increased 13.9% yearly on average during the 2nd Five-Year Plan (1980-1985). As a result, the country suffered load shedding in 1986/87 due to the lack of sufficient power supply.

Chowdhury1 1Civil and Environmental Engineering, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet-3100, Bangladesh. 2Civil Engineering, Leading University, Sylhet-3100, Bangladesh. Received 20 November, 2013 Accepted 7 February, 2014 The study reports the analysis and measurement of the noise levels of CNG refueling Stations and Power Generators of Power Development Board (PDB) induced noise pollution in Sylhet City. For this purpose noise levels have been measured at ten major locations of the city for CNG refueling Stations and in PDB, Kumargaon. Sound levels are measured at different location at different time interval for the respective study locations with the help of a standard Sound meter. It was found that the noise levels for both study locations are much higher that exceed the allowable permissible noise limits. The study suggests that noise path must be controlled by using appropriate sound barriers that can reflect and diffuse noise appropriately and particularly use of sound enclosure can reduce noise level. Key words: Noise pollution, sound level, permissible exposure level. INTRODUCTION Sylhet city is one of the largest cities of Bangladesh in the noise control program. It helps identify work locations northeast portion of the country.
