ASP-1 PROJECT REPORT [ EVALUATIVE]
EHUREN COMMUNITY
LIBRARY PROJECT
The first phase of the Adopt a
School Project, ASP1, which included the stocking of a structure for the
purpose of serving as a community library has been completed.
The seven member team that represented Greeneration and did the
presentation of books and clothes to the Ehuren community comprised of
Kenneth Neequaye
Harriet Apedo
Kojo Danso
Judah Okine
Jacqueline Asamoah and
Miranda Quianoo and John Siisi of Pass- a-Book-on
The group went with public transport
and set off from Accra at about 8 am and arrived at about 1:30 pm.
On arrival the group met with the
pupils and teachers of the Ehuren Methodist school who received the donation on
behalf of the community.
From there,the team together with
some of the students and teachers moved to the library structure to sort and
arrange the books into sections according to subject and level.

Some members of the group left the
same day at about 3:30 because they had to report to work or school the next
day and four slept over and returned a day after.
Finance
•
Donation
About five hundred books and some clothes were
collected in bits from individuals who had no more need for them.
•
Transportation
Funds were
raised through speaking to individuals on a one on one basis about the project
and asking them to help the course.
One major challenge the group
encountered was getting transportation. The initial idea was to fuel a bus and
pay the driver because the owner had opted to lease it to us for free but we
were not able to raise enough funds to do that.
That meant going by public transport
and it came with a lot of inconveniences
Also the the fares had been
increased just after the christmas and this was not kwon to the group so the
buget was over spent.
Challenges
The project has begun, and so far so good.
But there is still more work to be done.
The library still needs books in the following categories;
But there is still more work to be done.
The library still needs books in the following categories;
•
Reference materials like dictionaries
•
Novels and reading materials for early beginers
•
Text books especially for Senior High School level
There is also no furniture in the
library and the users of the facility sometimes have to carry benches from a nearby church to read or partake in lessons at the library.
Most of them however sit on the floor.

Recommendation
Planning for other projects should
begin early so that proper transportation preparations can be made.
