Ace-Liam Nana Sam Ankrah, current Guinness World Record Holder as the Youngest Artist, celebrated his second birthday by launching the Ace-Liam Outreach Initiative at the TeshieChildren’s Orphanage in Accra.  The initiative is aimed at nurturing children’s talents and supporting vulnerable individuals in society.  During his visit to the Orphanage, the child star donated food items and engaged in a painting session with the children.  Interacting with the media, Ace-Liam’s mother, Chantelle Kuukua Eghan, explained that “this initiative was born out of a desire to give back to the less privileged, particularly through the medium of art. Our mission is to touch the lives of children, focusing on their basic needs and education. Today marks a special moment as we begin this journey by spending time with the wonderful children and staff from the Teshie Orphanage. We will be sipping and painting together, sharing in the joy of creativity and connection. Additionally, we will be donating essential items to the orphanage, and we’ll cut a cake to celebrate the launch of this initiative.” She further expressed gratitude to benefactors for the partnership.   ‘I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our generous sponsors who have made this day possible. The same incredible supporters from Ace-Liam’s 2nd birthday party are backing us today: Her Excellency Dr. Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo, Top Choco, Arts and Cocktail, BBC Industrials, producers of Wonder Coat Paint, Dennis Temituro and Team Ace-Liam. Your support is invaluable, and we are truly thankful for your contributions,’ she stated.  Chantelle concluded by remarking that, ‘The inspiration for the Ace-Liam Outreach Initiative came from Ace-Liam’s remarkable achievement of breaking a Guinness World Record. His success serves as a reminder that even the smallest among us can make a significant impact.’ In receiving the items, Obed Mensah, one of the Board Directors of the Teshie Children’s Orphanage thanked Ace-Liam and his team for the kind gesture.  ‘For partnering up with our young boys and girls here at the orphanage, we say thank you. Talent is innate and seeing it early requires nurturing. Seeing 2yr old Ace-Liam excelling at this age testifies that he will be great. Today, we have discovered other talented artists here at the home and that makes us really happy. These range of items donated will also go a long way in sustaining the place,’ he noted.    There was a cake-cutting session to signify the official outdoor of the Ace-Liam Outreach Initiative. Prior to the donation, Ace-Liam also marked the milestone with his school mates at Aristoland Montessori in Teshie; Ghana.
