Making the donation at the Ga West Municipal Educational Office at Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region, the Director of the NGO, Apostle Michael Ankrah pointed out that the gesture was to support the GES policy of using local language to teach KG and primary pupils and also support poor parents who may not able to buy books for their wards.
Apostle Ankrah noted that his NGO had already made similar donations to some municipalities across the country.
He called on government and other corporate bodies to support the printing of the books .
Our resources have been dissipated due to printing cost and we are calling on other benevolent individuals to come on board to enable us reach out to many schools , he said.
The Ga-West Municipal Director of Education, received the items on behalf of the schools and commended the director and staff of the NGO and promised to put the books into good use to serve the purpose to which the books were presented.
