Measles problems caused Michael Gyamfi Sekyere to lose his speech and hearing at the age of three. The lives of Michael and his mother, Mrs. Vasti Agyeiwaa Sarkodie, were profoundly changed by this incident.Since my son was born healthily, I initially attributed it to spiritual forces when I was eighteen years old. I prayed for a miracle day and night, fasted, and cried,” she stated.

Recently, Mr. Sekyere helped a buddy create a simple sign language book.In an interview with The Mirror in Accra last week, Mrs. Sarkodie revealed, “Medically, I sought help from all possible angles, including the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), but to no avail.” She went on to say that Michael, who is now 27 years old, has sadly experienced bullying, emotional abuse, mistreatment, and beatings from teachers. He was also frequently misinterpreted.
