After School Computer Training (ASCT) Project

This is a free computer training school designed for less privileged basic school children in communities from the ages of 9 to 17 years old.  ASCT is every day, between the hours of 3-6pm. Most children close from school by 2pm.  ASCT provides these children hands on computer training as well as nurturing them to become future leaders.

  • Aims at empowering less privilege basic school children through computer training.

  • To increase computer literacy among basic school children in communities especially the deprived.

Book to Read Foundation Spelling Bee

The spelling bee program is a platform not just to enhance the vocabulary of the individual participants, but to also develop their love for reading, build their confidence and develop a sense of competitiveness in them.
Miriam Sedoh of Brilliant Child School emerged winner of the second edition of our annual spelling bee competition. Miss Sedoh won the grand prize after battling it out with thirty (30) other participants from six (6) Junior High Schools within Kasoa Municipality.

Adolescent Health Talk

Book to Read Foundation in collaboration with the Youth Action Movement (YAM) organized this program, which was aimed at equipping our children with the importance of healthy eating habits, exercise and hygiene. We aimed to educate the children on healthy topics and help them make positive changes that will benefit their overall health. We were able to visit 6 schools in Kasoa, namely: Jewel Stars Academy, brilliant Child School, Temple Academy Montessori, New Life Educational Centre, Divine educational Complex and Perfect Life Gate Academy.

Health Walk to Create Awareness on Diabetes.

Book to Read Foundation organized this program, which was aimed at motivating our children to be active every day and also create awareness on diabetes. We aimed to educate the general public on issues relating to diabetes and help them make positive changes that will benefit their overall health. We had a great turn out for the walk, with most of the teachers from participating schools joining the exercise. After the walk, we all relaxed for a brief interaction with nurses from the Ghana health Services.

This year the turn out increased from 50 students to 130 students.

Looking Forward

This year we are looking to expand the After School Computer Training program (ASCT). The following are what we plan on doing this year in relation to the ASCT program: 
●    Getting more computers available for the kids to use.
●    Converting one of our office space into a Computer Lab/ Library.
●    Grow the number of students we are handling
●    Add other subjects to the After school program (e.g. Music).
Another thing we look at doing this year is expanding our territories and getting more sponsors on board the Spelling Bee program. Our main focus is on getting cooperate sponsors, donations media partnership and other institutions who are willing to help us reach out to more kids.
