HAPPY UNITED NATIONS DAY 🎇🎊
To commemorate @unitednations Day Thursday, October 24 tagged #PlantHOPE, we went to Model Primary School Okoro N’odo, we had interesting sessions with the #GoGreenWithAFRONELLY ambassadors (#YoungVerdants).

Starting with a description of LGAs in Rivers State, our initiator Wonne Afronelly was able to educate the pupils about the United Nations and it’s functions in the world.
Team Lead UwaGold Besty Solomon
enlightened the pupils on trees and classes of tress.
Team Lead Joy O. Ogbonna educated the pupils on the importance of trees to human live, economy and curbing environmental hazards as #BlackSoot.

1 tree seedling, 2 different tree seeds and some flowers including aloe vera ( for biological control of blacksoot) were planted.
Trees were named after team lead Besty and some pupils who participated actively during sessions especially with answering questions correctly –
Karibo Light
Desire Happy
Sunday Chekwube
Oroma Anthony
Tochi Ogbonnaya
Harmony Maxwell
Temple Nwibari and
Godstime Bassey

The pupils were given take home tasks as part of assessment to help develop them as Ambassadors.

We also distributed the #LightOfHope edition of #RhapsodyOfRealities Teevo and Early Readers whilst Igbo, Ikwerre and English Versions were distributed to Teachers and some Parents
We are grateful to @christ_embassy_phzone1 for the donations.

About author myenvironment

“My Environment My Wealth” a youth based platform initiated by Wonne Afronelly. It is the only Pro-Media Environment Advocacy Program in the Niger Delta, an interactive Live Program on Environment for Media Stations in Nigeria. It is the first of its kind in Nigeria currently airing on Radio Rivers 99.1FM every Saturday, 8-9am and Garden City radio 89.9FM every Friday 4-5pm; apart from media advocacy, we carry out social projects that have over the years incorporated youths into our system hence realizing one of our aims - raising #under30CEOs and competent leaders in society. Other aims of the Project is to inform, promote awareness, enlighten, entertain and educate society about advocacy for the environment, sustainability, climate change and green cities in order to curb the increasingly alarming environmental challenges; hence enhancing the understanding of society to realize that these environmental hazards are not just a government problem but “the people problem” by integrating all and sundry to take action for the environment.
