You are A-mazing! Your English is astounding! So, you have a degree in Nursing and a MBA? Wow! You won't be unemployed for long. As soon as people see this they will be calling, emailing, and texting! You could be a consultant over the phone in both industries! The Covid opened a lot of opportunities for people to work virtually and many do! Right now you just need a laptop and Internet connection and you will be on your way!
Hi Mickey, Great job. Glad for this topic. We move to Ghana 12 years ago with my son who was developmentally delayed. In school they used to beat him and call him stupid. Even private tutors. I had to nerve back to US because of treatment he received. He finished high school and is now working. There need to be training for teachers and care givers go how to interact with these children. I see now a few schools are open for these children. Hope the Government can help these children and parents.
I totally agree! But there needs to be a mindset shift. That whole classism is not helpful at all. Africa's wealth is it's people, young,old,rich, poor and disabled! They have to see that everybody is a part of the whole!
❤❤❤ Thank you so much Mickey for this content. Best Wishes from Wash, DC/USA. Thank you for bringing attention to this need! I had the pleasure of serving as a sight guide for disabled participants at the Young African Leaders (YALI) Conference held here in DC some years ago. I supported a brother from Zambia who was blind, navigating the conference. I personally witnessed the social stigmas he suffered. He shared with me his struggles...being discouraged from completing high school and college; the lack of social services; the lack of access/mobility services as well as the social stigma(s) of being disabled in his country (Zambia). He has completed college and is a champion for social services and legislation supporting those with disabilities in Zambia. He is/was a true "young lion" in my eye (and you as well for presenting this issue/content).
Hmm sorry about the little boy passed after the interview, God bless the man and you for Michael, the government should look into this concerning the well-being of the disabled, sorry about your story Yaa😊
Hopefully with continuous raising of awareness around various disabilities would reduce the stigma associated with such, and lead to improved outcomes. Excellent content Mickey
To relocate back to Ghana to a place that is not conducive for those with developmental disability, learning disability, emotional or mental disability is a foolish move. Ghana is a place where children with noticeable disabilities are considered bosom ba and many are killed as a result . If there is any laws regarding those with disabilities in Ghana it's not enforced and you have no advocates to ensure the laws are being enforced. There is not a multitude of programs that are available to assist with early intervention however living abroad Mickey is your best bet to ensure that your young son who has speech delay if that is his only problem would recieve the proper care and proper early intervention needed. II have a cousin who lives in the USA that had speech delay as a child he went to a special needs school and now Jeffrey is an adult and no one would never know that as a child he did not talk. Athough it is the choice of you and your wife regarding the care of your special needs son I would encourage you to reconsider your move and think about going back to the UK where there many early intervention services he can receive so that your son can survive successfully as an adult
Very informative video, good job. Sad that we live in a Society where few people amass themselves with national wealth at the expense of the general populace. One day Ghanaians will wake up.
@@MickeyAgyei Interesting. Do you pay employees to function to a point or you and the employees agree to perform a specified task with results agreed by both parties? If Ghanaians keep accepting mediocrities from the authorities, nothing is ever going to change.
