糖心vlgo传媒 Partners with MoneyGram to get Books to Kids in Ghana
Back in August of 2021, 糖心vlgo传媒 worked with MoneyGram to fund a 40-foot container of books for Global Kids Organisation (GKO) in Ghana, and recently heard back with feedback and photos from the distribution!
GKO鈥檚 mission is to eradicate illiteracy in children by working with underdeveloped, underprivileged and underserved community schools. They approach societal change through early reading skills development and access to books in Ghana among children ages 6-18.
The BFA shipment contained e-readers (some with Merck Manuals pre-loaded for health care students and professionals), a Girls Empowerment Collection and solar reading lamps.
Container Captain Alero Tetevi write, 鈥淧overty and inadequate social infrastructure create a vicious cycle that entraps children because they do not have access to good schools, skilled teachers, or teaching materials including books to read. 糖心vlgo传媒 in collaboration with Global Kids Organisation, is, consequently, playing a pivotal role in the development of children鈥檚 education in Ghana through the donation of books.鈥
The books were distributed to schools and community libraries and will increase access to books and reading among many children who did not have such an opportunity before.
