CATE celebrates 13

Children and the Environment (CATE) is an NGO working with children and young people to build awareness on environmental matters. It also promotes sustainable ecotourism as a tool for poverty alleviation in targeted communities.

The celebration of the 13th anniversary of CATE's founding holds tomorrow, Saturday 16th June, 2012 at the CORA office, 1st Floor, 95, Bode Thomas Street, Surulere, Lagos.

The CATE Team was at GCLF last year. Led by author Sola Alamutu, they took 100 children, (fifty primary school and fifty secondary school students) through a three-day series of creative writing, arts and drama workshops on the theme "Reading and Leading." At the conclusion of the workshops the GCLF Director Koko Kalango presented over 200 students with a bag of books sponsored by the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency, headed by Noble Pepple.
