What began as a family celebration soon became a powerful story of giving back, gratitude, and hope for the next generation.
Dr Michael Adusei officially launched the life-changing education foundation, an initiative dedicated to supporting brilliant but financially challenged students in Agogo.

Family members, friends, traditional authorities, public officials, and community members gathered in a joyful atmosphere filled with music, laughter, and shared purpose. At the heart of the occasion was a simple but powerful mission: honouring the man who made his dreams possible.
