Sir Bota and Sante, children of celebrated Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame have released their much-awaited song about reading.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The song titled \u2018Read\u2019 is part of a huge project that will see the kids engage in reading sessions which will be shared across various social media platforms.<\/p>\n

The objective of this is to inculcate the spirit of reading among children and the general public.<\/p>\n

The song and its video were launched on September 25, 2018 at the British Council in Accra.<\/p>\n

This project is part of celebrating the National Reading Day, a project by Worldreader, an NGO, in collaboration with Amazon and Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n

On September 1, 2018, the Canadian government through the Canadian Organisation for Development through Education (CODE), a Canadian Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in partnership with Ghana Book Trust, also\u00a0made the Okyeame Kwame a reading ambassador.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He is required to use his influence to drive their new campaign dubbed \u2018Read With Me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, Sir Bota acknowledged how his father\u2019s appointment as Reading Ambassador influenced their new project.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy papa Okyeame Kwame was made reading ambassador not long ago. This got my sister Sante and I excited because it is a big part of what he encourages us to do always,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He mentioned how useful reading is and the need for parents to read with their children.<\/p>\n

Sir and Sante are not new to music. Last year, they were featured on their father\u2019s song \u2018Saucing.\u2019<\/p>\n
