Introduction of the New Country Director

Dear Shohanabhuti (Compassion) Bangladesh Trust Family,

Greetings.

I praise God and am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Kajal K. Sengupta as the Country Director of Compassion Ministry in Bangladesh with effect from 01 July 2007. Please join me in welcoming Kajal and his wife – Eva, daughter – Grace and son – Isaac to SBT family. God is at work through Compassion in Bangladesh and I praise and thank God for bringing Kajal to provide leadership for our organization at a crucial juncture in our growth.

Kajal hails from the Chittagong areas of Bangladesh and comes to us in response to a calling on his life. His commitment for the poor, professionalism, and reputation he enjoys within the non-government organization’s community is an added advantage.

Kajal is coming from USAID, US Embassy, Dhaka as its Chief Financial Officer. Kajal has an MBA in Finance from East West University and an M.Com (Master of Commence) from Chittagong University. He has also participated in over a dozen professional trainings during the course of his career. May I covet your support for Kajal and our team of dedicated servants as they continue to serve faithfully in Bangladesh.

I would also want to place on record, our gratitude to Kevin Stout (out-going acting Country Director) for his contributions in building up our work in Bangladesh and ably leading the organization during the past three years.

Mathew George

Area Director, Compassion International South Asia
