At the markets, Perez Musik together with his team gifted those who were able to sing any of his songs and shared the world of God with them.
Also, the team scouted some young men who had lost hope and wanted to throw their hands in despair, took their details to enroll them in their education and skill development programmes.
Speaking to the media, Perez Musik said, he has come to realise that society mostly does not pay attention to the boy-child, but he believes that “ if you are bringing the girl-child up, bring the boy-child close because if you neglect the boys, they will cause problems for the girls through social vices among others.”
According to him, it is which project creates an enabling platform to help the boy-child.
Perez Musik added that as part of the initiative, one could learn graphic designing, video editing, animation, painting, and shoe making, among others to help the boy-child desist from illicit activities.
The Market Drive forms part of the activities leading up to his annual Glorified Concert, set for August 27, 2023, at the Dominion Sanctuary of the Victory Bible Church, Awoshie in Accra, 4 pm.
