The campaign to get children reading in Sierra Leone
The charity PEN Sierra Leone is ringing the alarm bell over what it says is a concerning trend of young people in the country reading less than in previous generations. Umaru Fofana reports on the drive to get children back into books in an age when smartphones often come first, with the NGO aiming to reintroduce a reading hour in every school in the country.
