Launching Ceremony of Ivy’s Publications!
A Launching Ceremony of two publications
‘Shopno Nirman Proyash’ and ‘Ahmed Sofa: Oporahner Surjo’ written by Jannatul Ferdous Ivy was held on 8 February 2009 at Alliance Francaise Auditorium, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
This couple of publications was ever first publications of Jannat Ivy who is a woman with physical disability (severely fire burnt by an accident) and a development activist in Bangladesh. She has been working to promote rights and dignity of people with disabilities through a disability organization, Action on Disability and Development (ADD).
A significant number of participants including writers, academicians, development activists, civil society representatives, friends and well wishers attended this auspicious event. Dr. Salimullah Khan, Cynthya Walsh from ADD UK, Dr. Ahmed Kamal, Fahmida Monju Majid and Mrs. Lailatul Ferdous spoke on the
occasion as special and invited guests while Dr. Hossain Zillur Rahman, the former Advisor of the Council of Caretaker Government of Bangladesh was the Chief Guest.
The first publication is the compilation of Jannat’s own life story. This is a bi-lingual publication in Bangla and English and the second one is a compilation of eminent writer and educationalist Ahmed Sofa’s short knows stories in Bangla
The author mentioned in her foreword that generally we cannot accept any accident happening to our day-to-day incidents. Then we think that life has been meaningless or it has lost all potentials. She (author) also does not desire any accident to be taken place or it makes a pause in the rhythm of life.
But what rhythm was about to finish in her life it did not kill her, rather it stored all her lively attitudes to replenish her life again. And, her family was the source of her strength. She also mentions that thousands of our ordinary middle-class families inherit similar attitudes - they trust people and they are deceived; but they do not forget their simplicities, their dream-------and, it gives firmness to their dreams come true.
AWDP-Bangladesh highly appreciates Ivy for her literary endeavors. Ivy’s endeavors will light the way to many of our potential men and women with disabilities to come forward with their literary contributions and to expose real abilities and competencies towards building a knowledge-based society. AWDP conveys best wishes to the author and a wide circulation of her publications.
