Sunyani: Participants Of MTN/Suncity Reading Club Poised To Learn More

In an interaction with Suncity Radio’s Melvina Frimpong
Manso, the participants aged between eight (8) to fourteen (14) years declared
that they want to improve their reading skills.

“We are here to read and learn new words,” the participants
said in an affirmative tone when Melvina asked them why they joined the reading
club.

They believe that sharpening their reading capabilities
would make them smarter.

“Reading is the best thing anybody can give you. I said give
you because you do not just wake up to read. We have to guide you to read…it
may get to a point you can read so much. Even at that point you still need me
or your coordinators to help you read because there are some words you won’t be
familiar with…so reading is the best thing anybody can give you,” the astute
female radio presenter told the participants.

Five communities in the Brong Ahafo Region are beneficiaries
of the project which seeks to rekindle interest in reading among the
participants.

The reading clubs are centered at Sunyani, Fiapre, Odumase,
Chiraa and Abesim.

Best performing participants receive weekly and monthly prizes
from the organizers of the project.

The MTN Ghana sponsored project is being spearheaded by
Suncity Radio in Sunyani.
