Mulan Smart Educational Centre is an educational institution currently operating in Accra, East Legon-Agyiringanor, with heavy concentration on providing inclusive care, education, learning and development to both regular, special educational needs, and neuro and learning disorder children in the pre-school to primary education ages.
The institution is committed to providing excellent standards of care for the development of each child by providing a warm, friendly, safe and caring environment.
Mulan aspires to challenge and stimulate children to develop their full potential through playing, learning, interactions and experiences that are age and stage-appropriately.
In recent days, Mulan has attracted the attention of multinational and multicultural organisations and philanthropists who are passionate about promoting sustainable child development, providing educational leadership and promoting economic growth.
René Carayol’s Inspired Leaders Network, UK is led by Prof. Samuel Lartey in Ghana and Africa. Additionally, the school has also attracted the heart and mind of Chief Naa Alhassan Andani, the Country Director of LVS Africa; Margaret Mwanakatwe, a former Minister of Finance in Zambia and Managing Director of Barclays Bank of Ghana now ABSA; and the Minister for Eastern Region, Seth Kwame Acheampong who are all deeply concerned about creating advocacy and supporting institutions, stakeholders, parents and children in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) development community.
In a speech delivered by Prof. Lartey, initiating a call to the Inspired Leaders Network members in Ghana and other friends, philanthropists and all and sundry in a month-long initiative to raise funds to support autism awareness in Ghana, the professor of Finance and Cybersecurity stated that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder –which can be corrected – caused by differences in the brain.
He said that people with ASD often have problems with social communication and interaction and have restricted or repetitive behaviours or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention; therefore, a deliberate and intentional approach must be invested into observing children at their early and formative ages so as to support them to improve their learning experience fairly early in their development process.
On his part, Chief Naa Andani called on all all and sundry, including parents, homes, schools, corporates, religious organisations, communities, and the state to join in efforts to help people in need to improve their health, welfare and learning conditions.
For Mr. Acheampong, it was a pleasure to serve society and most importantly, the ASD kids. He said: “Service to mankind is service to God”.
The CEO and Founder of Mulan Smart Activity Centre, Miss Bridgette Thara Mills, could not hide her joy of having Inspired Leaders Network (ILN), LVS Africa and especially, Mr. Acheampong on board to share their experiences, finances and logistics to support the training, learning and development of her ‘care’ children and school.
Now, her call is to you and all well-meaning Ghanaians, philanthropists, and child welfare professionals and advocates to join her to support our ASD kids.
