THE Rotary Club of Accra-Airport has presented assorted reading materials to the Tutu Presbyterian Junior High School in the Akuapem North District of the Eastern Region.
The materials included those of science, mathematics, environmental and social studies, information and communication studies, as well as novels.
The donation of the books, which formed part of activities to mark the club's 10th anniversary, was meant to inculcate reading habit among the students of the school.
Handing over the materials to the school, the President of the club, Mr Ebow Acquah, said the members of the club decided to make the donation as part of their contribution towards assisting the students to improve on their academic performance.
"It is our firm belief that the presentation of these reading materials will motivate the students to read wide and acquire knowledge that will help them improve their academic work," he stated.
As part of activities to mark the club's anniversary, he said the members of the club had also selected a number of public basic schools which would be supported in diverse ways including the provision of educational materials and the renovation of school buildings.
Receiving the items, the headmistress of the school, Mrs Grace M. 0safo, thanked the members of the club for their support to the school, and said for many years "we have been yearning for such a philanthropic gesture".
According to her, the school had been in existence for about 150 years and had produced many influential people who were currently serving in various capacities in society.
"However, the school cannot boast of any modern logistics to meet the demands of the educational reform as it lacks electricity, a computer laboratory, a library and a staff common room," she added.
