Gbeogo (U/E), Oct. 07, GNA – Only a few people with hearing impairment in Ghana and around the world entre into the field of photojournalism and storytelling and the situation is attributed to their form of disability.

However, Mr Geoffrey Buta, a multiple national award-winning photojournalist is on a mission to change the narrative and inspire hearing-impaired students at basic schools to venture into visual story telling.

Through his Foto4Change initiative, the Visual Storyteller has started mentoring and working with hearing impaired students in some schools for the deaf across the country to equip them with the knowledge, skills and interest in visual storytelling using the camera and lens.

He has also identified and donated cameras and accessories to some schools for the deaf, with the vision of inspiring the young ones to develop interest in visual storytelling, a means of changing society positively and fighting inequality, discrimination, and injustice.

At the Gbeogo School for the Deaf where he mentored, inspired, and donated a camera and its accessories to the hearing-impaired students, Mr Buta who is also a Lecturer at the University for Development Studies, said stories told through the camera and lens had the unique ability to transcend barriers of language, geography, and disability.
