London: A six-year-old Indian-origin Aleesha Gadhia who campaigns to raise awareness of deforestation and climate change issues was on Thursday named a winner of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s daily Points of Light award.

She has also set up a climate change club at her school, encouraging others to look after the environment and include activities such as litter picking and planting trees. I feel really excited and happy to have won the award. I am really grateful and honoured to have Prime Minister Boris Johnson to award and write a letter to me.
