The Children for Climate Action Campaign (C4C) has taken its climate awareness campaign to the Pokuase Community Library, where members of the Dodoo Coding Club were the beneficiaries.
The campaign event sought to interact with the children on the basics of climate change, global warming and how it affects our society.
Addressing members of the Dodoo Coding Club, the Project Lead for C4C, Mr. Sarfoh Danquah shared that children are the next generation for society and thus, ” must receive the right climate knowledge so that human existence will not be endangered.”
He also mentioned that the C4C campaign is on a journey to groom children to become the next climate ambassadors to ensure that their voices are heard at all levels.
Participants included children from basic schools, Junior High Schools and Senior High Schools with Robert Mawunya, being their facilitator.
Some beneficiaries of the awareness campaign such as Selasi Mamah, a JHS student was excited to be a part of the event which she described as ‘a timely programme’.
Sharing some of highlights of what he learnt, he said he has become aware that burning bushes and rubbish affects the ozone layer and thus, pledged to use his coding skills to “make games and websites on climate change”, which he believes children his age would learn from.
A Senior High School student, Martha Phaney, who benefited from the campaign called for more public education on matters of climate and their impact on human lives.
Children for Climate Action Campaign (C4C) is an initiative of the Strategic Youth Network for Development which focuses on raising climate awareness and grooming climate ambassadors.
