I totally support and endorse Books &amp; Boots and rest assured anytime you need my presence and support, you can count on it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The event is an initiative of Oxigen in collaboration with a number of recreational partners, NGO&#8217;s, juvenile educational agencies like Active Minds Reading Club operating in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of children were treated to lunch and presented with items from the organisers and their supporters including personal donations of items from Black Stars defender Rashid Sumaila, Allie&#8217; Honey, Highlander Meat Shop, Fiifi Mills, Roselyn Lamptey and Lizzy Amoaa.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO of McDan Group of companies also donated an undisclosed amount of cash towards the hugely patronised full day event.<\/p>\n<p>The Apiredehene was thrilled by the soccer talent of children in the U-10, U-12 and U-14 age categories.<\/p>\n<p>Before the soccer activities, volunteers and reading coaches took each child through a private reading session before they were introduced to read in front of their teammates, coaches, guardians and parents.<\/p>\n<p>The next Books and Boots event would be staged in the new year at a venue on a date yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: 55 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Sunday, 17 December 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-12-17 Nana Safro Kwampah III speaking during the event on Saturday The Chief of Apirede in the Eastern region of Ghana, Nana Safro Kwampah III has described Books &amp;
