The second edition of the Read to Inspire Series at the Korle Gonno Community Library showcased ‘The Girl Who Can’ by renowned Ghanaian author Ama Ata Aidoo.
Organized by the Duo Concept Foundation, the event aimed to instill a love for reading in students and appoint them as ambassadors of the initiative.
Pupils from selected basic schools in Korle Gonno participated in the event, engaging in knowledge-sharing activities and personal development exercises. Lead facilitator Kate Addo emphasized the importance of reading in enhancing discipline, self-awareness, and communication skills.
