Imagination should not be a luxury.
Yet, for many public school students, access to storybooks and reading materials beyond their immediate reality is limited or non-existent.

In the course of our literacy workshops, we have seen eager minds held back simply because they couldn’t imagine a world beyond the one they live in. Books create an escape for young minds but what happens when such books become a luxury?

Ibadan Literacy Hub, in partnership with the Arike Tejuoso Foundation, is organizing a BOOK DRIVE to place quality books into the hands of pre-teens and teenagers in public high schools across Oyo State.

⸻

WHAT WE ARE COLLECTING

We welcome neatly-used:
• Storybooks
• Encyclopedias
• Novels for pre-teens (9–12 years)
• Novels for teenagers (13–18 years)

📌 Books should be clean, complete, and age-appropriate.

⸻

❌ PLEASE NOTE

We are unable to accept:
• Torn, defaced, or incomplete books
• Adult or inappropriate content

⸻

WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS
• Your donated book could be a student’s first storybook
• It helps build literacy, confidence, and imagination
• Books will be distributed to public school libraries, not stored away

A book you no longer use can change a child’s relationship with learning forever.

Earlier today, as I wrapped up the Creative Writing Workshop I’ve been on with the students at a Government Secondary School, something stopped me in my tracks.

A group of students were in the school yard… washing their uniforms.

Not because it was practical.
Not because it was planned.
But because they had come to school in uniforms so dirty that the teachers had no choice but to intervene right there, right then.

As I watched them scrub and rinse, one thought kept echoing in my mind:

The education of a child without the contribution of their parents is a journey filled with unnecessary hurdles.

How can a child who arrives in school with an unwashed uniform be expected to arrive with completed homework?
How can a parent who cannot ensure basic cleanliness be expected to check for writing materials, textbooks, or even emotional readiness?

Yet, here’s the part that breaks me every time:

These children are brilliant.
Public school students are capable, intelligent, creative, and full of potential.
They are not any less gifted than children in private schools, they simply don’t always have the same support system behind them.

A teacher can prepare lessons.
A teacher can show up with passion.
A teacher can believe in a child’s dreams.

However, if the child is not prepared for the learning experience physically, emotionally, or structurally, what magic can the teacher really perform?

Standing there today reminded me why community matters.
Why parenting matters.
Why advocacy matters.
And why we must continue to create opportunities for children whose brilliance is too often locked behind circumstances beyond their control.

Every child deserves dignity.
Every child deserves support.
Every child deserves a fair chance at learning.

We owe them that much.
All of us.
