On the 10th of October 2023, a truly remarkable day for World Mental Health, the Zen Riderrs team gathered to celebrate the profound theme of the year: “Mental health is a universal human right.” Zen Riderrs embarked on a heartwarming journey to Korle Bu Hospital’s psychiatric department, not to merely visit but to express deep appreciation for the invaluable healthcare heroes who toil tirelessly. Dr. Seth Asafo, Dr. Dela Fiagbe, Ms. Wilma Keteku-Atiemo, and the entire staff welcomed them with open hearts and warm smiles

As they handed over tokens of gratitude, including cartons of water, Ekumfi Juice, personalized drinking mugs, and body massage gift vouchers, their message was clear: “You make an immeasurable difference in our world. Your selfless service often goes unnoticed, and it’s time to rewrite that narrative. Your dedication and compassion deserve recognition and praise.
