It’s been a busy month for Parkinsons disease awareness and I will like to share what my foundation has been up to.
This year, we are organizing an art-focused campaign geared towards creating more awareness about the disease. Two main programs are under this initiative; an art/painting competition amongst schools to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease and art/painting carnival in Accra.
We are also partnering with the American Parkinson’s Disease Association, Columbia University, SIG-Black Diaspora and PD Movers in the USA to do a joint Art event on the 25th April, 2025 where patients and the public will engage in art sessions to create pieces that raise awareness and an opportunity for patients to try Art as a therapy.
This will be going concurrently in both Continents. We believe this will allow patients the space and ability to express their feelings and emotions through a creative activity and also bring together a community of advocates and supporters for Parkinson’s disease cause to offer hope to the community.
Will definitely share pictures of the event later.
