The country's largest retail chain Shwapno paid homage to International Mother Language Day through a new Online Video Commercial (OVC) for people with special needs who cannot talk.
In the OVC, a child goes to a Shwapno supermarket and notices with wonder how the salespersons were using different signs as language and later the child starts learning sign language at home and the mother was surprised to see that, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.
On the morning of 21st February, the OVC gifted the audience with a dream that created a beautiful wordless world with the sounds of silence to highlight the importance of language. There, model-actress Dilruba Doyal, child model Safa and Jannatul Ferdous acted in various roles.
