ハビタットスタッフによる各国便り
[西島＠バングラデシュ、ダッカ] スタッフ紹介 Md. Abul BASHARさん
[バングラデシュ ダッカ発 2月17日 西島 恵]
シェルター設置の進捗状況を報告しておりませんでしたが、今日までに８５軒の設置が完了しました。今日はその立役者であるエンジニアを紹介します。 (写真 右側)
Md. Abul BASHARさんは、建設部門を指揮するプロジェクト・エンジニアです。資材の準備時から建設まで、非常に丁寧な仕事をします。クリエイティブに、資材管理、建設管理、建設スタッフの管理を行っています。
困難に陥っても”we shall overcome”といい、解決方法を具体的に模索し、提示してくれます。仕事へのコミットメントは人一倍あって、事業に参加して以来、一度もダッカに帰らずに、休日も事業地にはりついています。同僚スタッフを気遣い、関係を大切にしています。
彼は自分のことを時々話してくれますが、1つ印象に残っていることがあります。「何か問題があったらまず自分で考えてみることだ。人は皆、解決する力、内に秘めた力を持っていると信じているんだ。」と言っていたことです。黙想の時をもち、自分の力を引き出しているそうです。私は、特に苦しいとき、彼の最大限まで自分に挑戦し、妥協をしない姿に学ばされています。
忙しくサイトを回っているときでも、夕日を見ると一瞬立ち止まります。
ブアプール事務所では度々停電となりますが、真っ暗な中、本当に美しく輝く月を見ることができます。そんなとき、バシャールが言いました。「月明かりがこんなに美しいのに、よく人は眠ることができる。自分は眠ることができない」。自然をこよなく好み、詩をよむことが好きだそうです。 (写真 右側)
（ I would like to introduce today, our project engineer, Md. Abul BASHAR. He has been the key person for the project; organizes and manages the preparation phase to construction phase in a very orderly and creative manner.
Even with the difficulties, he just says “we shall overcome”, and find a concrete action to solve the problem. He has so strong commitment that he has been always at the project site, without going home even one time, since he has joined the project. He also takes care of the staff, and keeps good relationship.
He sometimes shares about him with me. One thing I strongly remember is that he believes in human capacity to solve a problem. He said that each person has capacity to solve problems, the power within us. He extracts his positive power, taking time for himself. He does not compromise, but challenges to utmost of himself. I learn a lot from his attitudes, especially in time of difficulties.
When we went around the field, when the sun was going down, he stopped and took a moment to appreciate. He appreciates the nature, and reads poems. ）
What is your background?
I worked for a construction company for 2 years, and multinational origination in Dhaka for 4 years. When I worked the latter organization, I learned Japanese Quality Management System such as TQM (Total Quality Management) and TPM (Total Productivity Maintenance) and various PST (Problem-Solving Tools) like Why-Why Analysis, 5-S, KAIZEN, MUDA-ANALYSIS, POKA-YOKE, PQCDSM, Abnormality Management with Tag System, House Keeping Audit, PDCA Cycle, etc. I become a trainer later of those management systems. Besides this I am a certified Internal Audito of ISO 9001:2000. After having worked for Bricial City Corporation (Barisal Municipality) as Estate Manager for 4 years, I joined Habitat. I am a Civil Engineer (Diploma). I value education, so I got Master in Political Science and Graduation in Legal Law. Now I am studying on MBA.
I am very much thankful to the Japanese QMS. I got many Problem Solving Tools which are very useful to find root causes. It really increases my performance efficiency.
How do you find about Habitat? (He is a newly hired staff.)
I am happy to work for Habitat, because Habitat works for shelter. I like vision and mission of HFH. I think shelter assistance is very valuable and helpful for those who do not have houses. I am very proud to be a member of Habitat family.
What do you think about this project?
I enjoy this project. The shelter that we provide is for those who affected by the flood and homeless. I enjoy when I could feel the happiness of the people being side by side upon constructing their houses. They sometimes do not express by their mouth, but I can see in their eyes and actions that they are very happy. It is very great and I am proud to be able to work for this project. With this project, I can do something for needy people.
What do you think about the type of the house?
This type of the house and using the bamboo for roof traces is new in Bangladesh. The common practice is to use wood for traces. The people can not think that it can be done by bamboo. This has been a new experience for me as an engineer.
Because it is made by bamboo, I used T-Nut to attach to CI sheet (tin sheet). Usually we use screw, but the screw can crack the bamboo, and on the time of strong wind, CI sheet may separate from bamboo. So, I thought of using T-Nut for bamboo truss. This is new concept in Bangladesh.
Also, it is good to put up 4ft high for flood resistance. The people liked the house. The community people told us that they would go to the house in the time of flood. This new whole new experiences will help me on my work in the future.
How is the life in Bhuapur?
Sometimes summer camp; sometimes picnic party; sometimes big working field with so many workers; and big construction team work field
Do you have difficulties?We continuously work with difficulties. There are so many difficulties on construction, a lot of problems, new experiences and much sharing, but the problems can not stop us moving ahead. When there are problems, we take collective action and also preventive action, so that no same problem would happen again.
I believe in team work. 
I have a great faith on the saying ‘together we can make a big difference’. I know the race for quality has not finish line and ‘Excellence’ is an ever- moving target. I like to set standard first and trying to achieve more then standard. This is my philosophy of working.
