It was a pleasure to welcome Emile van de Klok back to the Centre! He was there for a week to help a group of our Alumni, develop the very marketable skills of digital marketing. And what a week it was. 13 Almni participated in the Digital Marketing Program, 7 were certified a the end of the program and more later. Days started with a recap in the form of a Kahoot Quiz, with a number of serious learnings of the previous day and sneaky fun topics.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs are currently gaining a lot of attention in Ghana. As we always want to remain relevant and innovative, we felt the children from the public schools that we serve, should be supported to focus on these subjects. This will help them consider promising careers in STEM for the future. We are testing resources and looking for the right partners. Stay tuned!
Reaching children during lockdown was one of our biggest challenges. A challenge leads to action. We are very excited to introduce our new program "To Be Connected". Providing children with access to a tablet for home use in combination with our e-learning software Education City. The first 5 tablets have been distributed. We are grateful to our sponsor for making it possible. We will expand the program to another 10 children this year.
My dad took me to the To Be library in Takoradi some 15 years ago, I was around 8 years and that became my home for almost two years. Today I am back in Takoradi as a lawyer, I was called to the Ghanaian bar in the year 2019, as the youngest person to ever achieve such feat and I owe a great deal of the reading habits, simple courtesy and good relationship skills to this magnificent initiative and this library.
