No Limits Charity Organisation (NLCO), a non-governmental organisation, has launched a reading club in the Jamestown community to inculcate into the less privileged children in the area the habit of reading to enable them compete with other privileged children in academic performance.

This is to ensure that these children read to widen their knowledge as well as improve their reading skills.

Ms Rita Esionam Garglo, Executive Director of No Limits Charity Organisation, said the reading Club serves as a mini library where children could come and read as well as have their homework done when school reopens.

She said they would establish these clubs in schools to ensure that children are constantly engaged in reading to enhance their knowledge.

Ms Garglo said the club already had 60 children and called on many more children to read more and appealed to stakeholders and philanthropists to support the organisation to achieve its aim.

Ms Eva Lokko, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) in election 2012, congratulated the Executive Director for coming out with this initiative, adding that it would encourage the children to read

Ms Lokko thus urged the children to read more to become the future gems of Jamestown community and the country at large.

“Reading would make you become the doctors, lawyers, ministers and professionals that you aspire to be so do not play. Seize the opportunity before you,” she added.

No Limits Charity Organisation is a registered non-governmental organisation that supports the education of the vulnerable in Accra to further their education.
