Qatar Charity distributes books to academic institutions

Qatar Charity, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of the State of Qatar, has presented assorted books to some educational and cultural institutions in the country.

They aimed at enriching the educational and cultural resources of various educational institutions in the country. The presentation of the books was done at Qatar Charity's Country Office at East Legon in Accra.

Institutions that took delivery of the books included 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 the importance of the initiative, the Country Director of Qatar Charity in Ghana, 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 the country.

By providing those invaluable resources, it said the organisation was not only supporting academic excellence but also encouraging book reading to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures and knowledge.

The books cover a wide range of subjects, including science, technology, linguistics, grammar, mathematics, physics, chemistry, stories, culture and history. 

Accessibility

They are available in English, French and Arabic, ensuring accessibility for a diverse group of students, educators and researchers. The recipients expressed their gratitude to the organisation for the kind gesture.

The officials from the recipient academic institutions remarked that the inclusion of enriched knowledge resources in multiple languages such as English, French and Arabic would prove an asset to enhance their language programmes.

The books, which are to cater for students from kindergarten to senior high school levels, would not only promote literacy and learning but also inspire innovation and critical thinking.

Additionally, the resources in French, English and Arabic would support language acquisition among students and educators.
