We also affirm their rightful place in society. We affirm the responsibility of the society to children, youth, and adults with mental, physical, developmental, and/or psychological and neurological conditions or disabilities whose needs in the area of mobility, communication, intellectual comprehension, or personal relationships might make more challenging their participation or that of their families in the life of the community.

We urge society to recognize and receive the gifts of persons with disabilities to enable them to be full participants in the community. We call the society to be sensitive to and advocate for, programs of rehabilitation, services, employment, education, appropriate housing, and transportation.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE SHINNING STARS VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
With the beginning of the year, 2022 came the birth of an idea; an idea birthed from the pangs of passion to reach out to persons with special needs who seem to be constantly in need, devoid of love, and in the crippling grips of poverty.
If all students with special needs were given the chance to gain advanced education, they may most likely gain a skill, get a diploma, or a degree that will make them employable and allow them to earn a living; their livelihood as such with most definitely be improved.
With this in mind, we fleshed out the idea of building a VOCATIONAL & TECHNICAL TRAINING INSTITUTE in Tamale, in the Northern Region of Ghana to train persons with special needs in different vocations, an opportunity for them to further their education and to have a chance of working and making a living for themselves and their families.
The first visit to commission this enormous project was in August, in the presence of the chief of Kpegunayili in Tamale, the director of Shinning Stars Inc. Dr. Cynthia Paintsil, and other representatives of the GES in Tamale. Today, the foundation of an institution for persons with special needs by Shinning Stars Inc. is being established, and believe this is tremendous growth, educationally, socially, economically, financially and at all other levels.
Your support has been and will always be needed to facilitate our projects. To support the construction of the Vocational and Technical Training Institute in Tamale, Ghana today, click the link: https://tithe.ly/give?c=5924648
