As part of its mission in promoting education, HCI has started its reading project in helping kids develop the habit of reading. In its pioneer stage, children of the daily HCI Basketball Clinic are divided into three groups, namely Group A, B and C. Group A comprises of kids who are older and advance in their basketball fundamentals. They range from ages 10-12. Group B comprises of kids of the same age group but are yet to reach the developmental stage of their peers in Group A whilst Group C comprises of children below 10 years old. A day is set aside for each Group to visit the Cape Coast library while the other two groups go through their basketball fundamentals at the Victoria’s Park. Each group visit the library twice a week. Most children come to the library after changing from their school uniforms and spend a further two hours at the library. They are help by the librarian in choosing the right children books according to their ages. The children themselves also help each other in reading and understanding what is read. This cooperation among the children is a dream come true as it is a first time experience for most of them. At the end of each library section the children are given talks on health matters and issues pertaining to the right as a child. We will be glad to receive any donation of children books and videos to help these kids. Contact us for your donation from our contact page.
