Reading Spots, Ghana
(UK, 1166734) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1166734) The core idea of Reading Spots is that we provide a vehicle through which we can fund the creation of libraries within rural communities. There is a complete lack of reading material of any sort in rural areas of Ghana, and the enthusiasm for reading is astonishing. We will often fund small libraries within schools on the condition that the facilities are shared with all local schools and the wider community. If the library is effectively used and the local chiefs or authority agree to fund the salaries of libraries, we will extend the library to a larger facility. Together with our Ghanaians colleagues, we have many plans for the projects including free literacy classes for adults, books clubs and creative writing clubs and competitions for children and adults, with a website being planned to facilitate sharing of writing and ideas about reading with others within Ghana and England. We have so far created one Reading Spot in the Messiah International School in Abofour, which is used by over a hundred members of the local community as late as 9pm at night. We are currently fundraising for a large community library in Akumaden, a project that will be managed by James Dugger, Director of the nearby Dreamland School. The name 'Reading Spot' derives from the Ghanaian love of the name 'spot' as a bar or hang out- they are seen across Ghana. We hope that the Reading Spots are seen as community centres actively promoting community cohesion, literacy and creativity.
