Coca-Cola Begins 'Read a Book Campaign'

The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana Limited (TCCBCG), a leading beverage company in Ghana has implemented the 'read a book campaign' which seeks to enhance education in Ghana.

Throughout the year, the company will be donating books to students in some community schools across the country. The books, which have been approved by Ghana Education Service (GES), will be used to supplement reading materials for the students so as to improve the quality of education in Ghana.

Sakumono T.M.A Primary and JHS, a community school in Sakumono was the first to benefit from this gesture. Over 500 books were donated to the pupils in the school two weeks ago. 'Saks and Abiba', 'Two Days of Christmas' and 'The Finder' were the titles of some of the books the pupils received from TCCBCGL. The Managing Director of TCCBCGL, Mr. Xavier Selga, who presented the books expressed the joy and satisfaction the company derived from advancing development in communities.

"We believe in education and so we are very happy to do this," he said. "This is one of the many ways we plan on driving development in our communities."

The Public Affairs and Communication Director at TCCBCGL, Mr. Isaac Antwi, who was also part of TCCBCGL team that presented the books reiterated the company's passion for developing communities.

"Through this donation, we pledge our continual support for the sustainability of our communities," he added.
