Change the reading culture

It has always been like a song that has been sang for decades that if you are to hide something from an African, you need to write it in a book. This trend has gone on to the extent that people don't want to read at all claiming that it is not their culture.
One of the approaches to changing this bad culture is to encourage people to read from the time they are young. This can be done by having children's libraries with very interesting books; that are easy to understand. The children can also be encouraged to formulate their own stories and read them aloud.
This has been done at Kabuubu Community Primary School, in Gayaza, Kampala.

Let us all join hands and change the reading culture
