Valerie Taylor- our pride

Valerie Ann Taylor, the founder and coordinator of Centre for Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), received an honorary doctorate degree in Health Sciences from York St John University, UK. This is great news for all the citizens of Bangladesh. She is "the chosen agent and the special child of God" who has been serving the weaker section of our country for the last 40 years. Though she has already achieved several awards, this particular achievement would definitely give a new dimension to the image of CRP and also Bangladesh. At the same time, it would also serve as a strong source of motivation for all social activists of the country. Today, to know Bangladesh, one must visit CRP. I strongly believe that the age is no bar to her. I hope, like Mother Teresa and Florence Nightingale, she too would have a long lifespan, and by dint of will power and love for humanity, she would contribute more to our country and the world at large.
