Spread the love

Today 4th of March is World Book Day. 

The Special Adviser to Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State on Diaspora Affairs, Cllr. Celia Osakwe-Hibbert has urged fellow Imo Diasporans to donate books to disadvantaged kids, send a ‘tenner’ directly to a student back home, read with any family’s kid, nephew, niece, grandkid, among others, sponsor education for an underprivileged kid at home.

According to her, this will empower them, even as she believes that there are Diasporans who are already doing this and asked for more.
