Galaxy Foundation Supports 25 Year Old Owusu Who Fell Into A 60 Feet Abandoned Galamsey Pit

Galaxy Foundation on last Friday presented a wheelchair to 25 year old Owusu, who got paralyzed as a result of game hunting in a forest at Adansi Adwafo. He accidentally fell into a 60 feet abandoned galamsey pit. He has been paralyzed for the past 24 months.

 

‘’Walking was unbearable, I couldn’t even sit and stand straight. The pains stopped me from socializing, from participating in many things but with the wheelchair, I can now move around for some fresh air” Owusu told Galaxy foundation.

Galaxy foundation would later raise funds to support Owusu’s surgery. He needs a laminectomy, a surgical procedure where part of the vertebral bone is operated to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.

Galaxy foundation Ghana is a non profit organization, ‘’We offer free services and surgical procedures for those that are less privileged and cannot afford the cost’’ David Hagan- Chief officer.

The family couldn’t hide their joy and ecstasy for this wonderful gesture bestowed on Owusu to help him mobile. They prayed for Galaxy foundation and wished them the blessings of God as they keep helping the less privileged.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
