School for Life, a non-governmental organisation, has launched a reading initiative at Kumbungu D/A Junior High School in the Northern Region. The initiative, called the Bright Future Readers Club, aims to promote reading among pupils.
The Club is expected to benefit 60 pupils in the school. It is part of efforts to improve academic performance and help learners build confidence.
During the launch, student executives were elected to lead and manage the Club’s activities. Pupils also showcased their reading and public speaking skills through poem recitations and reading sessions.
The Club is a continuation of an earlier programme by School for Life, which involved the donation of over 700 books. The donated books include storybooks, novels, and textbooks. Book Aid International supported the programme by donating reading materials.
The initiative is part of School for Life’s broader efforts to promote literacy in rural Ghana. It also supports the improvement of school libraries and encourages reading for pleasure.
Teachers at the school have welcomed the programme and expressed their readiness to support the students. The Club is expected to help learners improve their writing and speaking skills.
