This is to promote reading culture among children and adults within the community.
In brief remarks, John Acquah, the Manager for GBT said he was elated to be in a position to donate books to assist in educating young ones to have a brighter future.
The University’s Registrar, Mercy Haizel-Ashia, who received the books on behalf of UG Staff Village Residents Association (STAVRA), expressed her immense gratitude to GBT for investing in the children’s education.
Sophia Dapaah Mantey, Chairperson, Staff Village Residents Association, in her remarks, thanked Ghana Book Trust for their generous gesture.
