HSBC in Bangladesh organised a painting exhibition in the Gulshan office of the artist Lovely on Thursday, 8th August 2002. Lovely is a mouth painter and resident of the Centre for the Rehabilitation of Paralysed (CRP). She has no sensation or muscle power below her neck. She suffered a cervical spinal cord injury as a result of a fall from fourth floor of a building in 1995 when she was about ten years of age. Her treatment at CRP, like that of many other desperately poor people in Bangladesh, was entirely supported by donations. During her treatment at CRP, she developed a fascination in painting pictures and had developed a skill to paint with her mouth. The proceeds from this Painting Exhibition were donated to the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) for the physiotherapeutic treatment, education and occupational development of Lovely and others like her. Thank you to our friends and customers who came to the exhibition, and special thanks to those who bought paintings.
