Stacy Amoateng who is also the President of the Restoration with Stacy Foundation also stated, “I am elated to see this partnership come to light. I believe learning is essential and no child should be deprived of it. However, I believe our traditional way of learning can be enhanced by giving children an exciting environment and adding some entertaining activities to it. Education is an asset no one can ever take from you. So we collaborate with the Ghana Library Authority to give the children of this nation that asset.”
Mrs Amoateng noted that reading has made her who she is today which has influenced her passion for reading and giving back to society.
