This was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us! We did have one woman from Ghana at the Seattle Symposium. What a gentle woman she was!

With one functioning leg, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah rode a bicycle 400 miles across Ghana to change people's perceptions about the disabled. Two years later the Ghana parliament passed a disability rights bill, albeit with a ten year grandfather clause. Inspiring! Alton, who also enjoyed the colors of Ghanian clothing. Here in New Hampshire, we still believe in being colorful, wearing daily several shades of gray.
