Lily the living legend


Lily is real living legend in the Bandak family she is a great human before being a great professional photographer her soul is so strong , and her will is hard enough to continue the long Journey she started with her photography she carried her message with continuous productive soul that never bent by the obstacles she faced before and even after she was diagnosed with MS disease which made her sit on a wheelchair for the rest of her life

Recently Lily came to UAE to find her a new venue for a productive world that she can open for herself a new chance towards achieving her long term dream of creating the seed of an Initiative for the rights of the disabled people in the Arab world , it's not easy but there should be someone who stops damning the darkness and light a candle of hope andr Lily against all the odds she is decided to do it , she is trying to bring what Justin Dart did for the disabled Americans ...

This year Lily came from Delaware to make 3 Exhibitions in the UAE one of them under Rehab Dubai at the World Trade Centre , and the other two in ABU-Dhabi one of them in Zayed University and the other one in the Cultural Centre in Abu-Dhabi

Her aim is to promote for her next big aim , to have the cahnce of participating in China's Olympic games which will have a special venue for the disabled professionals
When I heard that Lily is coming the UAE i was happy cause I wanted to see her long time ago since 1997 when she made her last visit to Amman Jordan and I was busy with my Last year school studies , but now I said to myself I must get to know this spirit that is standing like a beacon in the mid of the dark seas of our lives , and learn from her free spirit which lies deep within her mind ....she is optimist to the end of optimism , can you Imagine that MS let her neck and up function and she is still determined to lead an extraordinary life , full of achievements , It's true challenge that must be learnt from ....a living legend like her must have a book if not more to inspire not only the disabled people but the normal ones leading a life even less productive than her....
