The Qatar Charity, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of the State of Qatar, have organized a significant book distribution event aimed at enriching the educational and cultural resources of various educational institutions in Ghana.
The event was held in their country office at East Legon, Accra.
To mark the event, a diverse collection of books were distributed to some key educational and cultural institutions, including the Balme Library at the University of Ghana, Maison Française at the University of Ghana, the Arabic Section at the University of Ghana, Lakeside University College, Quran College, KNUST Islamic Centre, National Mosque Library, Islamic Education Unit, Qatar Charity Model Village Dar U Salam Kadewaso, and Musareoona fil Khairat school libraries.
Highlighting on the importance of the initiative, the Country Director of Qatar Charity in Ghana, Mr. Hasan Owda, emphasised that the distribution of the diverse thematic books marked a significant contribution to the academic journey of students and the educational landscape of Ghana.
“By providing these invaluable resources, Qatar Charity is not only supporting academic excellence but also encouraging book reading to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures and knowledge”.
The books covered a wide range of subjects, including science, technology, linguistics, grammar, mathematics, physics, chemistry, stories, culture, and history and are available in English, French, and Arabic, ensuring accessibility for a diverse group of students, educators, and researchers.
