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. 

Children and parents are happy we have reopened the Centre and picked up where we left off with some of our activities. All within approved protocols and permission from parents for their children to spend time at the Centre. We have also decided to provide children with fun educational activities to take home. Once returned completed they will be awarded for work well done! 

"When the roots are deep there is no reason to fear the wind".....Like many countries around the world, Ghana is taking the necessary steps to control the Coronavirus. Schools are closed and social distancing is a government directive. Our Centres are closed until directives change. For now, it is important to stay safe and keep those around us safe! We will come out of this stronger! 

So nice catching up with Benjamina! She was a member of our Education Centre 10 years ago. We are humbled to have had such an impact on your life and are very proud of you! We can’t wait to celebrate with you when you get called to the Bar as a lawyer in 2020!!  Thank you for staying in touch and sharing how much your time at our Centre has shaped your achievements!
