Bookworm Reading competition winners, both from Accra and Kumasi had the rare opportunity to travel to the United Arab Emirates, Dubai on May 3.

The trip formed part of the young winners' prizes package from Adansi Travel and Tourism for excelling in the reading reality show.

The trip also offered them an opportunity to learn about the various cultures in Dubai.

The winners for the first batch are; Michelle Boakyewaa of Holy Rosary Roman Catholic JHS (Upper Primary Winner for Kumasi), Michelle Boateng of Salve Regina School, Abuakwa (Lower Primary Winner for Kumasi), Kaylan Doku Abbew of Trinity School (Lower Primary Winner for Season 5) and Shanelle Eyiah of Beacon College International.

CEO of the popular Bookworm Reality Show Reverend Nelson Kofi Poku said, "Indeed, it gives me great joy to see our young folks travel outside the country.

"They will act as worthy ambassadors. We thank our sponsors and all who contributed in diverse ways to see this happen."

He said the travel experience for the children alone went a long way to change their psyche.

They have since returned to Ghana.

Meanwhile, the organisers of the competition say the 2023 edition is expected to begin on May 20 in the Ashanti Region, which is the Second Edition and on June 4 in the Greater Accra which is the Season 8.
