Enterprise Life in collaboration with Joy FM and as part of their corporate social responsibility commissioned a community library in the Upper West regional capital, WA. Speaking at the Commissioning the Executive Director of Enterprise Life, Jacqueline Benyi (Mrs.) said This library, we believe will serve not just the educational needs of the children but will also help inculcate in them the habit of reading and information gathering which is a critical success factor in the holistic growth of a child. Unfortunately, this essential attribute of education has been largely neglected with the advent of social media.
In addition, it will help provide a place where children can come to and engage with other children instead of wandering the streets and being involved in all kinds of social vices.
This Library she said, will give to these children what Enterprise Life has always given Ghanaians, an Advantage in Life. An Advantage to a better life, an Advantage to realize their innocent childhood dreams, an Advantage for them to be the best people they can be, an Advantage for them to be useful global citizens but more importantly for them also to provide an Advantage to others.
Enterprise Life sees this project as an investment in the lives of the young people of this community. An investment that we believe the returns will inure to the benefit of everyone- their families, communities and the world at large. Indeed in our hearts we dedicate this building to the enhancement and empowerment of the WA child to pursue their dreams.
Joy FM Business Development Director, Charles Van Dyck, said the purpose of the read 100 project is to rekindle the spirit of reading and it is the wish of the company to construct ten libraries in all the 10 regions in the country to achieve that dream.
Wa Municipal Chief Executive, Issahaku Nuhu Putiaha praised Joy FM and Enterprise Life for their kind gesture and called on other organization to also emulate their example.
Wa Municipal Director of Education, Fusaata Hamidu, stressed on the benefits children in the municipality will stand to gain with such a facility at their disposal.
In conclusion Mrs. Benyi thanked God for the generous opportunity offered Enterprise Life through Multimedia Group to serve humanity, especially the pupils of WA Cluster of Schools and all stakeholders who made the completion of this project possible.
