Women in film donates to Queen of Peace School

THE Women in Film and Television International Ghana (WIFT) with support from the EPP Books Limited have donated a quantity of books to the Queen of Peace Roman Catholic School in Accra.
WIFT is a global network of women in film and television worldwide with over 10,000 members dedicated to advancing the professional development of women working in the areas of film, video, and other screen based media.
The donation formed part of the WIFT’s- nurturing creativity through reading project supported by the EPP books.
It is also an initiative that seeks to inculcate into children the habit of reading, improve their reading skills and also develop their self-confidence and inner drive.
The project will have female stars in both television and film read to children in under privileged schools in the country.
The Queen of Peace School is the first school to benefit from this initiative in the country.
Receiving the books, the headmistress of the school, Mrs Mary Wonkyi, thanked the leadership of the WIFT and gave a promise that the books would be put to good use by the children.
Mrs Wonkyi called on other benevolent organisations to come to the aid of the school and provide them with books for their library.
Some of the executive present read some of the books to the hearing of the children.
The Executive President of the WIFT, Mrs Juliet Asante, the Vice-President and PR, Mrs Akorfa Edjeani Asiedu, the Programmes Director, Dzifa Gomashie and Esi Arhin the Secretary were present at the ceremony.
