The historic outing hosted students from the Methodist Special School for Learning Difficulties and was attended by the Headmistress, Madam Lenna Nyamekye Acquah. The event signaled a new chapter in expanding opportunities for children living with physical and learning challenges.
The students were transported in the newly acquired vehicle to the Independence Stadium, where they enjoyed a fun-filled day of games and recreational activities in a safe and supportive environment.
With the backing of the Special Olympics Committee, the event blended excitement with purpose, reinforcing the importance of sports and social interaction in building confidence and self-esteem among children with special needs.
From laughter echoing across the stadium grounds to enthusiastic participation in group activities, the day was described as both adventurous and deeply meaningful. Each student received a special gift, adding to the excitement and leaving lasting smiles that reflected the success of the initiative.
Foundation officials said the tour underscores their continued dedication to uplifting vulnerable children and ensuring they are not excluded from opportunities for recreation, mobility, and community engagement.
The newly commissioned bus valued at 16,000 Canadian dollars was donated by the Foundation’s Canadian partners, including philanthropist Krish Roopnarine, alongside his wife Dee Roopnarine and their sons, Dimitri and Yuri Roopnarine. The donation is expected to significantly enhance the Foundation’s outreach efforts, enabling regular school visits, social outings, and inclusive community programmes.
Observers say the launch of the service tour represents more than just a trip; it symbolises mobility, dignity, and renewed hope for children who often face barriers to participation in everyday activities.
As the Foundation rolls out future initiatives with its new vehicle, stakeholders believe the gesture will inspire broader support for inclusive development and reinforce the message that every child regardless of ability deserves access to opportunity, joy, and belonging.
