MONAHDEE OPEN LIBRARY BY EZEKIEL MOSES



 With the high rate of illiteracy in Africa teaching children how to read becomes a thing of great concern. I have seen many high school senior students and even graduates who find it difficult to read a simple sentence or communicate fluently in English hence the importance of early reading in children.

CHANGE ENTERTAINMENT yesterday graced a special occasion of Monahdee’s Reading Room Opening THE EVENT WAS GRACED BY Hon. Fergus Cochrane-Dyet of the British Embassy, Liberia. Hon. Frederic Vloeberghs, Brussels Airlines, Shoana Clarke Solomon of Cachelle Creative Arts Center, Ezekiel Moses of CHANGE ENTERTAINMENT and a host of dignitaries.
According to Monahdee “The purpose of AALG’s Children’s Reading room programme is to ensure children in Liberia have access to books magazines videos, audios, music and internet resources provide them with vital information and meet their academic needs. We also provide a wide range of recreational and social activities for which the children can experience the joy of reading and the excitement it brings of discovering knowledge and works of imagination”

 
 The British Ambassador expressed is gratitude for the initiative and the willingness of the British Government to support developmental programmes in Liberia to help foster the much needed economic growth and development and peaceful coexistence in Liberia.

Hon. Frederic Voleberghs, also expressed his gratitude to Monnahdee for the initiative, he presented some books in addition to the newly purchased books at the Library.

The Library is open to all in Liberia, it is located at The Creative Arts Center, New Airfield road Sinkor, Monrovia, Liberia.
 Children from this neighborhood can now have access to this Library without any fee it is totally free, something worth celebrating.

From me: EZEKIEL MOSES it was an honur being at this august occasion, to witness a progressive lunch of literacy, such a programme the encourage children to build a reading culture which is what we need to move Africa and the world at large to the next level.
