A Ghanaian para-representative has received a prestigious honorary award at the 2024 Korean Paralympic Camp (KPC) in Incheon, South Korea.

The Ghanaian team led by head of delegation Michael Obeng included three other para-athletes. The three athletes were Akotoh Bryan Baffour Kwadjo, a paraswimmer. Aheto Promise Wonder, a para-swimmer. Judith Adu Yeboah, a para-badminton.

The participants took part in activities such as a special lecture class, a Korean culture tour, and a sports class.

Participants were awarded medals and certificates of participation.

Michael Obeng and his athletes were awarded medals for their participation. They also received certificates from the Korean Para Camp 2024 organisers.

In his closing speech, Michael Obeng expressed his profound gratitude to the organisers of the KPC 2024 and also to the president of the National Paralympic Committee of Ghana, Mr. Samson Deen.

“I’m so excited to be a part of this educative camping. I’d like to thank the organisers for giving us the platform to learn a  lot, Michael Obeng said.

“I’ll want to say a big thank you to Mr. Samson Deen (president of NPC-Ghana) for giving me and these three para-athletes this chance to join the KPC 2024. We have learned a whole lot during these few days of orientation. Hopefully, we return to Ghana and help educate the rest too,” Obeng mentioned.
