Photo of the week: Mentally, physically challenged woman handles triplets

Audio By Carbonatix

It was a heart-breaking sight under the traffic light at Kwashieman in Accra where a mentally challenged woman sat, orbited by her triplets.

She couldn’t speak but gestured often violently, pushing the kids to move through the traffic to dramatize their pity for pesewas.

She also appeared physically challenged in her right arm – a double agony.

The middle-aged woman does not stay at one place for long. Soon, she left with the children who clearly need serious parental care if their mother's handicap does not become a personal handicap against their own progress.

The two girls look happy and very oblivious of their plight. But at the same spot where they play, a Tipper Truck veered off the road killing a pedestrian on that dangerous N1 Highway.
