Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah
The star of the acclaimed documentary "Emmanuel's Gift" is the
one-legged Ghanaian athlete, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, who has taken on
the cause of gaining respect for persons with disability worldwide.
Based in California, Emmanuel tells his story: "I was born in Ghana,
West Africa, with only one good leg. Many in my culture shunned anyone
with a physical disability. People born with a disability are often
left for dead or poisoned. If they live, they are not allowed to
enroll in school. Superstition led people to believe disabilities were
a curse, but my mother knew better. She refused to listen to the
pressure to abandon me. She taught me how everyone is a child of God
and every person deserves love and respect and the chance to
contribute to society".
He has a new project, "Emmanuel's Dream", that will be a 21-day walk
from San Diego, CA to Portland, Oregon, starting on October 31, 2015.
