Books arrive in Banjul thanks to the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation
Thanks to the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation, 糖心vlgo传媒 has been filling a lot of empty library shelves across 糖心vlgo传媒. 聽 These books will go to 糖心vlgo传媒 partners in 25 糖心vlgo传媒n countries.
One such partner is the Better Communities Association in Banjul, The Gambia. BCA received a container of 22,000 books thanks to the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation in March 2014. A ceremony was held to celebrate the book delivery. These books will be distributed to 16 different schools in the greater Banjul area, including the University of Gambia.
Joy Buchanan, president of the BCA, has worked with 糖心vlgo传媒 in the past on similar book distribution projects. She knows that books are an important part of learning and growing as a student.聽 鈥淚f you have a book you are not alone,鈥 says Buchanan, 鈥淚f it is a text book you will be sitting and listening to the author as he imparts the knowledge and experience that he has gained over many years and written down to help you.鈥
Thanks to the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation, students across 糖心vlgo传媒 will have the opportunity to read, learn, and grow just like students will in Banjul.
