Award-Winning Actress, Television Presenter and Producer Ama K.
Abebrese who also double as a Child Safety Icon for Safe Child Ghana,
an NGO which help prevents injury, protects children and promotes
child development through empowerment, advocacy and education to
achieve behavioural change, have called on parents/guardians, the
public and all stakeholders to help improve the safety of Ghanaian
children.
Ama K. Abebrese in an interview with Freda Owusuaah-Bioh on J.life
FM's Working Rhythms (Mid-Morning Show) said, most children in Ghana
are seriously at risk of getting injured or perishing from certain
simple safety loopholes that have been left unattended to.
She was optimistic that, the safety of Ghanaian Children can be improved.
"It's not a one man thing, it's fairly not just a one charity thing,
it's definitely all of us. We hear horry stories a lot of times when I
talk to the NGO who run Safe Child Ghana, they go to communities where
children are affected or in trouble to provide aid, but I think we can
do better if we all come on-board."
Premiering of Double Cross in Sunyani
"The reception of the premiering of Double Cross was beautiful, it was
wonderful, officially that was my first time in Sunyani, I love the
environment, the people, and you guys don't have dumsor which clearly
we are suffering from here in Accra. and one thing I loved being there
and just seeing the environment because at the end of time, If wasn't
for my work, I wouldn't get to probably travel to many places and
Sunyani is one of the places where I've been, I went there and say
like wow….the reception was great, I have to come back often its
just that this job tends to keep me concentrating in Accra," she
explained.
Ama who has been in the industry for about 15 years now have about 5
and 3 yet to be release projects which are coming out this year.
Speaking on challenges in the industry;
"I have been very blessed, I came to this country with obviously
having some experience under my belt and it's been wonderful for me,
obviously some of the roles I would like to get are not readily
available but to be honest, I'm a working actor and always have to be
thankful that I'm able to have work to do, so I have few complaints."
