By championing this cause, we challenge stereotypes and stigmatization, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable society.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Bright Atsu Amemate and his dedicated team of volunteers for their tireless efforts in organizing and executing this impactful initiative. Their commitment to serving others serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, igniting positive change and transformation within our communities.

Together, let us embrace the ethos of #beperiodpositive, recognizing that disability is not a limitation but an opportunity for greater understanding, compassion, and solidarity.
