Hållbarhetsrapport 2015/2016

51 ” Continued support to school in Benin, West Africa Last year AAK donated school benches to Collège d’Enseignement Général de Komiguéa, located close to AAK’s KNAR-Benin SARL – our main reception point in northern Benin, West Africa. Our intention was always to make our donations a recurring initiative and this year AAK sponsored the local school library with literature and the students with pencils and notebooks.   Books for reading practice for various ages and capacities, basic mathematics as well as more advanced literature in language, mathematics and economics were among the books given as a part of our sponsorship.   The Library, Bibliothèque Saint Augustin, has a study room where the students can read and use the books for their studies completely for free. If the students wish to bring some of the literature home they can also do so for a very small fee. The idea is to stimulate learning as well as being able to provide the opportunity to do so in a sustainable manner.   The school’s students come from the neighbouring village of Komiguéa where many employees at KNAR-Benin SARL reside. Hopefully some of the students will work at AAK/ KNAR-Benin SARL in the future.   At the delivery of the books AAK’s expats in Benin, together with their families and our local Director Alfred L. Lawson, visited the school and both students and school management expressed gratitude for AAK’s initiative to support them again.
