THEY may seem simple but colourful greeting cards are at the heart of a long-term project to benefit the disabled.

“Art of Hope uses art to ensure a sustainable source of income for disabled children and their families,” said Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped Selangor and Federal Territory (SSMH) president Fadillah Yakin.
