CRP founder, Valerie Taylor is decorated with numerous awards; amongst many is O.B.E. (Order of the British Empire).In 1998 she was awarded Bangladeshi citizenship by the Bangladesh Government and also the “Shadhinota Dibosh Podok” the highest civilian award of the country. But her real triumphs are the many lives she touched and improved in her long service to the very poor and ill fated paralyzed people who came in touch with her and gained optimism.

Valerie has also adopted two severely physically challenged girls who live with her in her house, on the boundaries of CRP premises in Savar. Joyti is now 25 years old and works part-time as a computer operator at CRP, while Poppy is 17 and attends the local Radio Colony School.

Despite officially taking a backseat role at CRP some years ago, Valerie remains the driving force behind the running and over seeing the development of CRP; in a word CRP is synonymous to Valerie Taylor. Her life went in building this organization and in her psyche she round the clock dwells for the development of the organization and the welfare of the underprivileged paralyzed.
