On October 6, the global community unites to observe World Cerebral Palsy Day, an occasion to honour the lives and accomplishments of the over 17 million people worldwide affected by this condition.
Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders impacting movement and posture that deserves recognition not only for its prevalence but also for the resilience and achievements of those living with it and the people working to make life easier for them.
As part of the observation of the day, JoyNews Upper East Correspondent, Albert Sore tells the story of the Cerebral Palsy centers set up by AfriKids Ghana to help make life easier for children who have the condition and their parents.
