Battor (V/R), Oct. 16, GNA - Mr. Prosper Ntoso, a Gospel Musician, has donated items worth GH¢10, 000.00 to Battor Three Kings Special School in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region.

The donation, which includes clothing, food and detergents, was in collaboration with the C. P. Awareness Ghana, a Non - Governmental Organisation and the Prosper Ntoso Music Ministry.

The support formed part of activities marking this year's World Cerebral Palsy Day, dubbed ''Empowering Persons Living with Cerebral Palsy ''.

He said, Cerebral Palsy like other forms of disabilities was not a curse and urged parents to love and care for children with the condition.

Mr. Ntoso explained that his Ministry's aim was to positively influence the lives of the vulnerable, especially children.

'My team and I believe we must bless people with music and with our resources, because God's will is for us to prosper and become blessings to others both physically and spiritually,” he said.

He called on the individuals especially musicians to support and care for the less privilege especially children, in their own small ways.

Mr. Boniface Aberor, Executive Director, C. P. Awareness Ghana, stated the need for Ghana to have a clear data on cerebral palsy to increase awareness about the condition.

He said lack of awareness about the condition had made society to hold onto certain misconceptions that resulted in stigmatisation of persons with this form of disability.

''C. P.  Awareness - Ghana focused on sensitizing the public on Cerebral Palsy to reduce stigma associated with the condition. We need more support to be able to achieve this objective,” he said.

Madam Ophelia Kushigbor, Headmistress of Three Kings Special School, expressed gratitude for the support, calling on other individuals and organisation to help.

There was a health walk and a musical concert to mark the event.
