Key: Additions Deletions
Ghana Tennis Aid supported fellow charitable appeal Ghana Learning Project who collected nearly 6,000 books for schools in Ghana who are deprived of learning resources and lack of reading materials The primary aim of Ghana Learning Project was to help provide and implement learning materials to schools in Ghana based on their educational needs.
In addition, it is evident that we all own plenty of books in the UK that are going to waste, with many libraries, schools
and individuals in possession of books that are no longer being used.
Winneba School Book Appeal
Inspired by this idea and in support of Ghana Learning Project, Ghana Tennis Aid launched an appeal in Summer 2009 to collect books for the University Practice Secondary Schools new library where the children at the Winneba Tennis Academy attend. The school's library shelves had a some what 'empty' feel about it when we visited it in 2007 whilst talent spotting at the school on the Tennis Project.
Summer 2009 Book Appeal
The need for books and learning resources for the schools new library was highlighted, so Ghana Tennis Aid decided to not only continue collecting Tennis equipment from individuals and South London Tennis Clubs for the Winneba Tennis Academy, but also to appeal for unused books that can be used for school children aged 11 and over. So far, Ghana Tennis Aid has collected over 150 books from various individuals and members of Purley Sports Club and Sutton Churches Tennis Club that will be put to good use at the Winneba School. Thanks!

'I am now sorting the books out for donation, to both the primary, Junior High School and some probably for the
Senior High schools especially the advanced geography and art books.
Thanks very much for the help from everyone and the chance you are all providing for Ghanaian most especially
children and students in Winneba. It is my hope to help them put it to the best use.
Schools are on vacation and would re-open in the first week of September at which time the Presentations would
be made and to give the donated pens out to those who are graduating to the 1st year Junior High.'
Thanks everyone.......
