Ghana Grows High School tours Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind
The Ghana Grows High School Next Level Tour continues to make impact on young lives, with a recent stop at the Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind.
It delivered knowledge and inspiration and also a life-changing financial breakthrough for one student.
This year’s edition of the tour was dedicated to special schools and institutions for persons with disabilities, creating opportunities in agriculture and agribusiness while transforming lives in powerful and unexpected ways.
A standout moment from the event was the Wow Moment segment, where students were recognised for their engagement, enthusiasm, and outstanding participation.
A student named Callistus was awarded a cash prize, just when he was struggling to pay his school fees.
“I didn’t know how I was going to pay my fees, and today, this happened. I am so grateful to the organisers for coming here, not just to teach us but to change lives. This means everything to me,” Callistus expressed emotionally.
His story exemplifies the transformative power of the High School Next Level Disability Inclusion programme, which not only broadens young minds to opportunities in agriculture but also meets critical needs in impactful ways.
The Executive Director of the Springboard Road Show Foundation, Comfort Ocran highlighted the deeper impact of the initiative.
“Every time we visit a school, we see young people whose dreams are just waiting to be ignited. Today, beyond educating and inspiring, we were able to make a direct impact on a student’s life.”
With each stop, the Ghana Grows High School Next Level Tour is changing perceptions, opening doors, and making a tangible difference.
So far, the team has visited, Koforidua School for the Deaf, Kibi School for the Deaf, Bechem School for the Deaf, Takoradi Special Vocational School and Twin City Special School.
Additionally, the tour has seen the foundation visit Cape Coast School for the Deaf and Blind, Volta School for the Deaf and Blind and Gbi Special School
