The campaign has become necessary because research has shown that when parents read

with their children their interest in reading is activated more than when the parents

‘scream at them to read unattended.’

mentioned that Okyeame Kwame was chosen because of his exemplary life

as a father and as a human being in general.

She also mentioned Okyeame’s his impeccable brand positioning as a motivation for the project.

The Canadian government was represented by Corey Huntington.

In his acceptance speech, Okyeame recounted how difficult it was to read even at age 10

because his parents didn’t read with him and he lacked interest in reading due to that.

In that wise, he appreciated the appointment and promised to let his influence manifest in the cause.
