The project is an initiative of the United Nations-backed ST-EP (Sustainable Tourism for Eliminating Poverty) Foundation. The initiative focuses on establishing small libraries in underprivileged communities where children have limited access to reading and study facilities.<\/p><p>Since opening its doors in February, the lemon-colored library at the OSU school has become a learning haven for some 2,000 boys and girls between the ages 6 and 17.<\/p><p>It is equipped with more than 4,300 books, a computer, a printer, chairs and tables, stationary supplies, a first aid kit and an air conditioner. And at 9mx7m, the library, which is roughly the same size as a squash court, is considered a real luxury compared to the facilities at many of Ghana\u2019s other schools.<\/p><p>Dinah Aryeh, Principle of the OSU Presbyterian Cluster of Schools says, \u201cI cannot tell you how it brightens my day to see a young child with a book in his or her hands. Children at a young age do not always realize the importance of picking up a book and reading. However, the impact it can make on their lives is immense.\u201d<\/p><p>According to Aryeh, some of the elementary school children\u2019s favorite books from the library include classic English novels like The Secret Garden and King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as well as popular Korean fairytales that have been translated into English like The Magic Gift and The Extraordinary Story of the Three-Leaf Palm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a47ffa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a47ffa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Education<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9a80de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9a80de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The TYSL project was established in 2007 as part of the UNWTO ST-EP Foundation\u2019s larger initiative to eliminate poverty through education. These goals have since been replaced by a new set of targets, with the aim of ensuring inclusive, quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030.<\/p><p>Over the last decade, the TYSL project has seen some 180 libraries built in 20 countries, the majority of which are in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ghana, Ethiopia, Mali, Senegal, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania and South Africa. Ghana has received the highest share, with 40 libraries constructed to date.<\/p><p>Young Shim Dho, Chair of the UNWTO ST-EP Foundation, says that the TYSL model is based on the South Korean experience of development through education.<\/p><p>She says, \u201cI was born in Korea. I saw how it transformed from a very poor country, with a GDP of US$79 per capita in 1947, to becoming member of the OECD as it is today. How did we do this?

Furthermore, education in the West African country is not a level playing field. Especially in the poorer regions of northern Ghana, schools are often inadequately equipped.<\/p><p>The main problem, says Shin Guk Kim, Director of Special Projects at the ST-EP Foundation, is a lack of resources \u2013 teachers, books, toilets, computers, classrooms. With financial pressures increasing and the share of funding provided by international donors shrinking each year, schools are often in a quandary. \u201cEducation is not an easy reward,\u201d says Kim, \u201cLearning takes time.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16639cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"16639cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_ghana-2-1-e1675842823558.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"1300x550_ghana-2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzMzMDMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMTZcLzA1XC8xMzAweDU1MF9naGFuYS0yLTEtZTE2NzU4NDI4MjM1NTguanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_ghana-2-1-e1675842823558-768x342.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-33303\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_ghana-2-1-e1675842823558-768x342.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_ghana-2-1-e1675842823558-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_ghana-2-1-e1675842823558-1024x457.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_ghana-2-1-e1675842823558.jpg 1108w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-712d2c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"712d2c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container{height:100%;width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty{position:relative;min-height:22px;min-width:22px}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon{position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;margin:auto;padding:0;width:22px;height:22px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0da8f75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0da8f75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">For the Love of Books<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-287ca2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"287ca2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Last December, Samsung C&amp;T held its 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0annual Love, Share charity bazaar at the company\u2019s Seoul headquarters.
