In
1980, a young talented Ghanaian called Simon kumi, introduce a skillful acrobats display in my area called kotobabi. For the
first year I be came the first student of Simon’s acrobatic school. From that time I also pass the massage to my friends
in the area. With in few weeks –later we became 10 in number.
From
then we start going –out for programs at hotels, festivals and national anniversary days, in later 1989, the founder
of the school join the national dance company at legon the school of performing art.
With in one and half year later I also invited to the national youth dance factory. With my experience I had from dance
factory I tour almost all the regions in Ghana.
In
1992 I decided to establish my own group called Destiny Acrobats, I started with six {6} kids. About a year later I had {12}
student three {3} month later we started going out for programs, our first program was with Nestle Ghana
limited at aviation social center.
In
the nest few weeks later I was introduce to a man at the Alliance Francise, Mr. Cephas, later we were invited to stage at
Alliance Francise with international artiste from Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and Sudan.
From
that performance at Alliance Francise we had an opportunity through Mr. Cephas, we were invited to join Canadian organization
called JEUNESS DU MONDE base in Burkina Faso. Project of this organization was to
tap the talent from these street children, other not to go back to the street. We used circus and acrobats to get the kinds
out of the street.

Nobody had ever heard of this idea in Ghanaian society, they only existed in counties
like Bolivia,
Chile, and Brazil.
After my experience I had from all those counties, with the Destiny Acrobats I have come up with a new idea in helping Ghanaian street children in other to improve their talent and self
confidence through
Acrobats
and circus. I know I have the passion and hope’ to establish Destiny Development Foundation, through other sister’s
originations across the world. Thank you.
