With the support of the Günter Voßebrecker Foundation, we were able to purchase school books for EUR 1000. The tradition of reading is not very widespread in Uganda because it is not encouraged in childhood. This limits learning even in adulthood. Books can make learning easier and, above all, inspire children’s curiosity and desire to learn and prepare them for a more modern life. The children love the storybooks and of course the books with pictures, because abstract information is difficult for the child’s brain to grasp, but pictures are much easier to remember. In addition, students learn best when the school material is wrapped up in stories. Abstract content literally comes to life. The new books are a real blessing for our school. If you introduce children to reading at an early age, they can benefit from it later on and their lives can be greatly enriched.
