In an effort to combat stigmatisation against individuals with disabilities, Adwinsa Publications has unveiled the Adwinsa Children’s Show, a ground-breaking initiative to integrate children with disabilities into all aspects of life.
This will dispel misconceptions and create an environment where children with disabilities will be embraced everywhere.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Adwinsa, Mr. Kwaku Oppong-Amponsah, emphasised the paramount objective of the Adwinsa Children’s Show.
“We envision a world where children with disability will not be excluded from our creative endeavours, particularly in the realm of literature and societal development,” he remarked.
Mr. Amponsah fervently spoke against the marginalisation of persons with disabilities (PWDs), and reminded guests that “disability is not inability.”
The CEO of the National Council of PWD, Lawyer Esther Gyamfi, lauded the initiators of Adwinsa Children’s Show, and described it as a monumental stride towards inclusion within the publishing industry. She commended Adwinsa Publications for its dedication to learners with disabilities.
Head of the Guidance and Counselling Unit at the Ghana Education Service (GES), Mrs. Gifty Sekyi-Bremansu emphasised the multifaceted contributions that individuals with disabilities brought to society. She explained that the term “disability” encompasses more than mere physical or mental limitations; it encapsulates a person’s unique abilities and potential to contribute meaningfully to society.
Mrs. Sekyi-Bremansu noted that disability could occur through various life circumstances, and mentioned that some individuals were not born disabled but encountered unfortunate events that altered their physical capabilities. She urged the public to treat everyone equitably, irrespective of the person’s physical appearances.
The ‘Adwinsa Children’s Show’ stands as a powerful testament to the transformative impact of inclusiveness and understanding. With the rallying cry that “disability is not inability,” Adwinsa Publications has ignited a movement that aims to reshape societal attitudes and pave the way for a more integrated and harmonious future for all.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
