Yesterday marked the second anniversary of the passing of Ghana's Disability Act. The Ghana Federation of the Disabled held an event in Accra to highlight the event. VSO supports GFD with volunteers and a number of us were drafted in to help with proceedings.
Guest speakers included the minister responsible for the act and senior representatives of the main disabled people's organisations in Ghana. There were two songs performed by a deaf school choir. The newly crowned 'Ghana's Most Beautiful' was also there. She intends to devote part of her year to helping people with disabilities and she outlined her plans. Hopefully she won't have to spend too much of the year having to stand next to tall obrunis . To the left is Mboje, VSO volunteer with GFD.
