SUMMARY:Read Across Ghana
DESCRIPTION:Read Across Ghana is a literacy education promotion organized by Girls Education Initiative Ghana (GEIG). \nThis event will be in two folds (Reading with school children and a book drive). \nReading with school children will be done with our partner schools in the Greater Accra\, Ashanti Region\, and Northern Region of Ghana. \nThe second part\, the book drive\, is a donation exercise across Ghana and Western countries. GEIG will be using this avenue to solicit reading books from our partners and well-wishers both local and abroad to donate books which will be donated to various schools where literacy education is low. \nThe event forms part of activities to commemorate GEIG’s 10th Anniversary celebration scheduled for March 2024\, commemorating black authors and literature to enable the school children to appreciate their race. Also\, it is to appreciate Ghana’s First President\, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s legacy on education.
