Okyeame Kwame attends digital reading summit in Kenya
Resolute in his quest to affect society through his personality and craft, Okyeame Kwame has been actively involved in encouraging reading habits in young people.
As an ambassador of Worldreader, he was part of the delegation that attended the global digital reading summit in Kenya a few weeks ago.
Nearly 150 invited participants from across sectors in Kenya and around the world filled the conference room at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Upper Hill in Nairobi on May 8, 2019 for the programme.
The summit is organised by Worldreader, an international NGO dedicated to sending digital reading books to children in deprived communities.
They build solar panels for areas without electricity so they can get source of electricity and read through digital means.
After the summit, they held their world board meeting with majority of the board members present
They also visited Kibera, which is the biggest slum in the whole of Africa. Worldreader has set up its digital reading library there.
According to Ethel Sakitey, Worldreader's Country Director in Ghana, 9 Solar units have been provided schools in Ghana without electricity.
“To date, we have deployed 1,975 e-readers to 39 schools. Otherwise, one of key messages is that Worldreader is seeking to get books available for children in most deprived communities and we doing this using technology,” she said.
The organisations wants the kids as well as the teachers to have all their teaching and learning materials all in place.
“We are piloting a Digital Reading project in Kwaebibrim Municipal Area where we are systematically providing technical support, management expertise and digital content through the Municipal Education Office to reach up to 90 primary schools by the end of 2020,” she added.
So far Officials of the Municipal Education Office (24) have been trained and these officials together with Worldreader have trained 292 teachers on how to seamlessly integrate digital reading in classroom activities through the INSET program.
Okyeame Kwame, in the wake of this, produced a song titled ‘Read' in 2018.
‘Read' features his super talented children, Sante and Sir Bota.
In the meantime, his ‘Made in Ghana' album is also selling hot on Aftown, iTunes, Spotify and other online music stores.

“I Accepted A Bribe To Keep Mute After Seeing A Pastor Bonk A Colleague’s Wife In His Office” – Gospel Singer, Erico
Famous for competing in the Mentor competition, gospel artist Eric Oduro has shared how he exposed a senior pastor who was having an extramarital affair with a colleague's wife.
In his account of the incident on Adom TV's Okukuseku with Emelia Brobbey, Erico said that he had been hired to serve at a church in Nungua when the incident occurred.
It was his responsibility, he said, to oversee a spirit-filled ministry that would bring in the senior pastor to deliver a sermon to the congregation.
He stated he had to reroute his route and return to the church after doing his work and leaving the property because he had forgotten his glasses in the pastor's office.
Upon barging into the senior pastor's office, he said the scene that unfolded before him was so shocking that, to date, he occasionally gets flashbacks.
Erico recounted seeing the pastor pants down while banging the junior pastor's wife, who doubles as the church's secretary, on his desk.
As he snatched his spectacles and made attempts to quietly walk out, he said the pastor pleaded with him not to create a scene as church service was still ongoing.
In exchange for his silence, Erico claims the pastor offered him a substantial bribe, which he accepted.

“I Won’t Advice Myself To Date An Industry Person” – Gyakie
Ghanaian artist Gyakie has opened up about her misgivings about dating a man who works in the music or creative arts fields.
Although love is undoubtedly lovely, Gyakie stated in a recent interview with 3FM that romantic connections with individuals in your career could be challenging.
She would not be dating anyone in the industry for the time being, even if she accepted that love is erratic.
If there's another version of myself, I won't counsel myself to do that. As it might be quite risky, I wouldn't suggest doing that.
“Love is a beautiful thing. I wouldn't say it's wrong, but at the same time, right now, I wouldn't advise myself to be with an industry person,” Gyakie said.
