A statewide high school tour centered on drug misuse prevention and mental health awareness has been formally inaugurated by Ghanaian comedians and performers Funny Face and Kwaku Manu.
During the tour, the two will also be looking for talent, giving pupils a chance to show off their skills.
In a heartwarming and inspirational development, well-known Ghanaian performer Funny Face is utilizing his personal hardships to improve the lives of young Ghanaians.
The "Mental Health & Say NO to Drugs" campaign aims to increase public awareness of the risks associated with drug abuse and the significance of mental health.
Funny Face, whose full name is Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, spoke openly about his personal struggles with substance addiction, depression, and mental health issues during the event.
He said, "I have made mistakes in my life." However, those errors must not be made again. You have only one life to lead. Don't waste it, please.
He went on to issue a pressing call to action, requesting that Senior High School Entertainment Prefects get in touch with the team at 0241363798 in order to join the cause. The tour will include one-on-one meetings with students who are struggling in silence, talent hunts, and motivational speeches.
Kwaku Manu's intervention was crucial to Funny Face's advocacy journey and eventual comeback.
Kwaku Manu stepped in to visit Funny Face in psychiatric care during the height of his breakdown in recent years, providing emotional support and mobilizing public support for the comedian's recuperation. Their relationship has now developed into a mutual goal to support the coming generation.
Kwaku Manu, who is renowned for his witty yet astute manner, underlined that the tour is about listening as much as talking. Students will be listened to, their challenges will be recognized, and they will be reassured that they are not alone. We also hope to find young performers, comedians, and singers who are hiding in these schools. Now is your moment.
Fans and education stakeholders have already praised the campaign on social media for transforming suffering into meaning.
To help build a support structure that puts mental health and a drug-free future for Ghana's youth first, schools nationwide are being urged to become engaged.
Funny Face and Kwaku Manu's message is clear as they get ready to tour schools across the country: asking for help is a show of strength and mistakes do not define you.
