Durbin Departments

 * 1) Education and Research
 * 2) Medical Team
 * 3) Information Technology and Communication (ICT)

Durbin Education
Durbin helps these misguided youngsters. Durbin looks for schools and colleges of a specific area that requires help assess their overall needs and organize workshop, training's and activities that lead to much more than just useful learning. In the workshop, they make the students understand the importance of education and why choosing aims in life is important. They help students to get motivated and plan a suitable career which steers them to the right and appropriate direction. Durbin finds it important that teacher-student relationship should be in a very strong and healthy state, so that a student can ask for all sorts of help to a teacher while the teacher can give all his knowledge among the young minds. Some youngsters get steered to the wrong path of life engaging themselves in problems like dealing with substance abuse (i.e. drug, alcohol), gang involvement, eve teasing and many other socially unapproved activities. Teenage female students mainly fall a victim to eve teasing. These young people need proper guidance and Durbin helps them find the true and right path of life through academic and psychological counseling. Science documentaries, short length educational movies – help a lot to make these youngsters interested in science and other careers.

Students with disabilities are placed in the same room as the normal students. So that the other students learn of humanity and get protective of the helpless and do as much as they can. Durbin has also taken this initiative for remote students. The program known as Online Student Counseling (FIRST TIME IN BANGLADESH) where the students will have the benefit of discussing many education and career related issues.

Durbin targets students from class 8 to university level. They also assist students who study in Madrasas. Durbin has a skilled Education team to meet with all these difficult challenges. However, Durbin is a really small self-made social welfare team that can contribute only in root levels. Though it is a very negligible contribution Durbin strongly believes the assistance and cooperation of both Government and other concerned organizations will certainly result in greater results.

Durbin Medical
Durbin goes to areas that they have targeted from earlier assessment to help the poor people with medical aid. Durbin has an expert medical team consisting of students studying medicine from renowned medical colleges throughout the country. Durbin goes from place to place and renders free first aid service and primary level medical treatment to the people that require those. Durbin arranges workshops too involving the students, their parents and general people as well. In the workshops these people are made aware of diseases, general sickness, how to prevent and face them as well as techniques of a few first aids. They are also given ideas about good and safe health keeping, sanitation, nutritious food and general medicine that should be used to fight general illness. Durbin arranges training programs for the students and parents regarding First Aid so that they can play significant role of medical service in their daily life. Documentaries on how to preserve good health, sanitation and effects of neglecting health preserving issues are shown to give an overall idea to the rural people out there, so that they learn basic rules of staying healthy and stay aware of the bad effects resulting in healthier, more hygienic and happier lives. Durbin tries its best to reach for the poor and helpless out there to help them in every way possible. However, the further contribution of government and other social welfare organizations would obviously be of greater value – and this is exactly what Durbin earnestly hopes for. Durbin strongly believes health education and instruction will help students learn skills they will use to make healthy choices throughout their lifetime. Our effective programs will result in positive changes in behavior that lower student risks around:
 * 1) Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs,
 * 2) Injury prevention,
 * 3) Mental and emotional health,
 * 4) Nutrition,
 * 5) Physical activity,
 * 6) Prevention of diseases and
 * 7) Sexuality and family life.

Durbin Information and communications technology (ICT)
Durbin puts great emphasis on ICT. ICT is a new hope of a better and enriched life. The members of Durbin itself are mainly focused on ICT in one way or another. Durbin makes students know about the benefits of taking ICT as a career. It makes them familiar to the advantages of being skillful in ICT. In any job sector if a person is skilled in ICT, he is given more importance than the others. Upgraded in newer technology makes life easier and work done much comfortably in a less time consuming way. A person can be self-directed through the benefits of learning ICT because he would not have to rely on anyone if he is self-sufficient in information and technology himself. Durbin sends these messages to the young minds and motivates them to get interested in this useful department.

Durbin shows the wonder works of ICT through small documentaries explaining how the small yet useful inventions of ICT has led the world to become so easily communicable. They hold workshops where students get to experience the wonders of ICT with their own two hands and finally decide if this is an absolute marvel or not. This is how Durbin increases the eagerness and hunger of knowledge of students so that they get inspired and make up their mind to ICT.As the human resource in this country is of low-cost yet the quantity of human resource is a lot, people trained in ICT will have better opportunities to go abroad for outsourcing and thus improve the country’s economy and GDP growth. This will also result in knowledge based economy. Knowledge resources such as KNOW-HOW would be a great way of creating a better economy as the employees themselves will be able to transfer and utilize their knowledge which suits the correct field.

Durbin believes in developing initiative and independent learning skills and for this ICT is certainly one of the best means. As the country administration keeps introducing and bringing newer technology, Durbin hopes the young generation will get more encouraged in building their careers in ICT and thus help the serve the country’s economy.
