Our Projects: Book Treat Project

The Beacon International Catholic Magazine is always engaged in social responsibility and self-help projects.
Over the years, we have held our Annual Book Treat Project.
This is a project with which we are able to provide recommended text and story books to needy children by the generous donation and support of children and institutions who desire to share with others.

The last edition was held at the Jamestown Mantse's palace where we distributed over 1,000 books to pupils from three public schools in Accra, Ghana.

Below are pictures from the event. Click on the pictures below to view the enlarged version
