Our Testimony
Society is always very particular about people’s origin stories, and each time we meet people who have made a feat in their line of endeavors, we do not hesitate to ask about their origin stories. To us, that’s the connecting point.
The origin story of Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation (FEMHF) is a story of resilience, faith, positive outlook and consistency. It is a story that has proved that odds can be broken, and heights can be attained despite devastating hurdles.
My dear son and Brand Ambassador of the Ferdinand Effah Music Heritage Foundation (FEMHF), has proved and would continue to prove that truly music is an effective therapy and a voice for autism awareness and acceptance. This feat should become a trailblazer for parents with autistic children.
…and so, every 2nd day of April, he would drum, and we would continue to walk the talk in solidarity with the United Nations World Autism awareness and acceptance day.
