Ghanaian premium water brand, Verna Natural Mineral Water has appointed 3 young Ghanaian models living with Autism as Brand Ambassadors for their newly launched rebranded products.
The girls namely; Nana Yaa Ohenewa Kuffour, Maame Bema Baffour Awuah and Yacob Tete-Manon were outdoored with a photo-shoot session at a short ceremony held at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
For the purpose of grooming these beautiful autistic girls to become models, Twellium Industrial Company Limited engaged the 3 girls and paired them with affable entertainment icons including Juliet Ibrahim, Naa Ashorkor, Anita Akuffo, Deborah Vanessa, Victoria Lebene, Afi Antonio, Charlotte Derban.
In a short interaction with Prince Akpah, Afi Antonio; mentor and trainer of the girls expressed joy at having Twellium Industrial Company Limited’s decision to include them for their relaunch of Verna Natural Mineral Water.
Ms Antonio requested that other brands emulate the initiative to include people with any form of disorder or disability in order to decrease the stigma which was associated to such individuals.
She further stated that this will help other parents with such children to have hope and to confidently bring them out rather than hide them.
She concluded by saying “the children have special talents hidden in them, these can be discovered only when we love and embrace them as part of the society.”
