She said, putting the reading spirit into the school going children is what AKCOMLIB-GH intends to achieve to inculcate the habit of reading to broaden their knowledge as they are being prepared for the future because it is the same children who could find themselves on the streets and in the ghettos.

Nana Afiah Siraa Ababio III together with her team are building mobile libraries in some selected schools in Berekum to boost the schools with some collection of books to enable the children to grow the appetite of reading.

Over 500 volumes of children reading books have been distributed to some schools including Berekum Methodist A, B, and C schools respectively, Naspor Methodist Basic School and Nanasuano D/A Basic school, she said.

According to her the project has the sole aim of helping the children from being on the streets. The idea is to operationalize the mobile library in the schools as an inducement to enhance the habit of reading in the children's academic activities.

On behalf of the beneficiary schools, the headmaster of Naspor Methodist Junior High School, Mr. Fabri Micheal expressed his appreciation to Nana Afiah Siraa Ababio and the AKCOMLIB-GH for coming to the aid of the schools which he promised he will ensure the children make good use of the books received.

He therefore called on other NGO's to also embrace what AKCOMLIB-GH has undertaken to help support the children in their education.
