Film Transcript
Some of the challenges that I face are, like, when you want to go to a facility and you get there and see a whole lot of staircases and all that. Sometimes the place you're supposed to go to doesn't have the access you need. Walking up, taking a bath, doing everything — eventually it's a struggle, so I try to just be strong.
I have the support of my family. I have great family and friends who support me in everything that I do; they try as much as possible to make me feel welcome and are a great support.
The advice that I have for people with disabilities is to define and learn, create an occupation like making hairdressing and all that. If you want to go to school, you can do classes as much as possible to keep you moving. Just try and do something — try not to depend on people.

Great job Samuel. it very true that our society does not have adequate plans and functional policies to support and make life comfortable for our fellow brothers and sisters who are disabled. I vote for this firm.
Emmanuel disability is a real issue in Ghana. They form part of the silent majority whom we all do nothing about. We behave as if is not an issue and most of them feel reluctant even to come on camera to share their stories. Our public facilities have not catered for them.
Nice concept with quality video
Jasmine has really done well agreeing to share a bit of herself and pushes for able - bodies and persons with disability to try hard moving on in life by acquiring the necessary skills to thrive.
