The heartwarming event at Fire City Chapel included a touching sermon from Rev. John Mefful, Board Member of Ghana Society of the Physical Disabled and Pastor of MegaWord Chapel International, Takoradi who commended Bishop Dr. Coffie Hackman for his consistent and impactful advocacy for PWDs .
The thanksgiving service also included heartfelt commendations from various individuals who have benefitted from the services and programs provided by H4P over the years. Throughout its 14 years, H4P has been a beacon of hope for persons with disabilities, offering varying levels of support and advocacy. Several beneficiaries of the NGO shared their personal testimonies, speaking about the profound impact H4P has had on their lives.
Among the voices of gratitude were Madam Martha Coffie, a passionate mental health advocate, and Madam Christina Nkrumah, Deputy Director for the Center for Employment of PWDs. Their stories, along with those of Raphael Botsyo Nkegbe, Founder of Gogetdem Wheelchair Racing Club and Prof. Michael Adu, Head of the Department of Crop Science at the University of Cape Coast, painted a vivid picture of H4P's transformative impact.
The celebration was further enriched by performances that showcased the talents and creativity of individuals with disabilities. Vicky Grant and Reverend Epaphras Ato Forson led the congregation in inspiring praise and worship sessions, filling the chapel with uplifting melodies and heartfelt worship.
Representatives from the various Disability organizations as well as traditional leaders, Nana Adutwumwaa I, Tufuhemaa of Otublohum and Founder of Ghana Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Naa Otobea 1, Tufuhemaa of the Benjum Division of Otublohum graced the occasion with their presence.
The anniversary celebration culminated in the cutting of a beautiful cake, symbolizing the growth and success of H4P over the past 14 years.
The H4P Organization earlier in the week, paid a heartfelt visit to the Christina Hackman Wards at Manna Mission Hospital on 8th January, 2025 to spread love and joy. Not only was a generous donation made to the hospital, Ambassador Mrs. Hannah Ama Nyarko, the Special Guest of Honor led the delegation to deliver gifts to patients, medical and non-medical staff of the hospital.
H4P’s commitment to its cause remains unwavering, and the anniversary was a reminder of the many more lives the organization will touch in the years to come.
The 14th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service was not just a reflection on the past but also a celebration of the future — a future where persons with disabilities are not merely accommodated but celebrated for their unique abilities and contributions to society.
