Last Saturday, 5th December, the Cuties Readerfeast team was at Okwampa near Bawjiase in the central region where we hosted one hundred children to a Readerfeast.
We started off with a screening and registration session for participants aged six to fourteen years from Okwampa and its surrounding villages.
With one volunteer leading all the children and taking them through a phonetic refresher session using fun methods such as phonetic songs and rhymes, the children were eventually placed in appropriate groups depending on their ages, class and their ability to read. The team comprising eight volunteers took the children through a two hour reading clinic. The children were later assessed to enable the team find out the level of impact made on them. Those who were able to do the task assigned to them were rewarded. The clinic was followed by a feasting segment where the children were fed. Every child went home with a souvenir to constantly remind them of the Readerfeast experience .
A few weeks ago, I learned about investing in the Kingdom of God and thought I would put this into practice. Thank you to the almighty God for making this a dream come true.
A special acknowledgement to a man who believes in investing in children regardless of of their geographical location: Rev. Ankrah. He was on a mission to spread the good news of Christ to people in Okwampa as well as its neighboring villages and gave the Cuties Readerfeast team the platform to hold this event.
Thank you to EPP books services and to everyone who supported us. Through donations, rendering of services, I cannot mention everyone but I want you to know that I truly appreciate your support and donations.
It was such a joy seeing the smiles on the faces of these children.
It felt like we had put some sunshine in their lives.
Every child in Ghana, deserves to have access to story books. They deserve to be able to speak and read English regardless of their geographical location. Cuties Readerfeast, is a foundation which is solely dedicated to helping a rural child read and speak English. Though we may not have been able to provide all of the needs of these children, we are glad we achieved our goal: 'to put sunshine in the life of a rural child.' It's our pledge to do so at Cuties Readerfeast.
In all, we had a good Readerfeast.
Thank you to those amazing kids.
Thank you Okwampa village.
Like every dream, this has been quite challenging as well but
on this journey, some people have been God sent.
Thank you to my Saturday team of volunteers and for everyone who was there doing one thing or the other to ensure a successful event. You guys were amazing!
