Footprints of Glory Foundation, an NGO in Tsito in the Volta Region, has organised a reading festival for all government and private primary schools in the traditional enclave.
All 26 basic schools in the Awudome area participated in the reading festival, which consists of spelling bee, word formation, sentence reading, read aloud, listening comprehension, and pick and act.
At the end of five rounds, Awudome Avenui E.P. Primary School emerged the overall winner. The school was given money, a citation, a trophy, and a parcel from the MP for Ho West Constituency, Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah.
The founder and CEO of Footprints of Glory, Architect Kafui Amegbe, said the rationale behind the initiative is to propel a higher standard of education in the traditional area.
According to him, “we want to see more improvement in terms of the ability of our children to read and understand.”
The spokesperson of the Ho West district education directorate, Frank Mkporti, praised the NGO for supporting the government from their own strength in order to enhance education in the district.
For his part, the chief of Awudome Kwanta, Togbe Adzima X, thanked the non-profit organisation for the initiative. He also commended teachers in the traditional area and called on parents to collaborate with teachers in the development of their children.
