    Module One

    The Global Impact Fellowship 2025–2026 Orientation was held on October 6, 2025, led by Aryana Mahmud, Mathira Kawser, and Saniyah Farzeen. The new cohort were officially welcomed and were introduced the structure, expectations, and goals of the fellowship.

    The session started with an icebreaker, shared BacharLorai’s mission of empowering Bangladeshis worldwide, and walked through the seven-month program timeline—from the UN SDG workshop to final presentations in March 2026. The workshop also went over expectations like professionalism, attendance, and project alignment with the SDGs, along with tips for communication and email etiquette.

    The session wrapped up with advice on staying engaged, collaborating effectively, and a short Q&A to close things off.

  • Module Two

    On October 20, 2025, the BacharLorai Global Impact Fellowship held its first workshop of the year on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), led by Anil Wasif, senior Canadian civil servant and BacharLorai Co-Founder. Fellows explored the 17 SDGs and BacharLorai’s focus on health, education, gender equality, decent work, climate action, and partnerships. Anil showcased the Amar Bag Project in Bangladesh, which distributed dignity kits and hosted menstrual health workshops for 79 women and children. The session emphasized connecting local action to global impact and concluded with a preview of Part II.
