British-born Nigerian authors and founders of the Classroom Library Project and the NGO ‘I am the Future of Nigeria Youth Initiative’, Renee and Zara Okocha, popularly known as ‘Okocha Sisters’, have taken an awareness campaign on climate change to their former school, Holy Cross Primary School, South Ockendon, Essex, United Kingdom and donated books to the students.
The two sisters, who are co-authors and illustrators of over 60 picture books, visited the school on Monday for a ‘catch-them-young’ awareness and donated books they have written on climate change to the students and as well encourage more children to become published authors.
According to them, the gesture was part of their Classroom Library Project aimed at enhancing literacy and reviving reading culture in primary schools both in Nigeria and the UK.
