React Context - setState with onClick inside Consumer

Question

I have implemented React Context API and I am trying to update the state defined inside the Provider via an onClick function inside a child component.

This is what I have done so far, in the App.js I have:

import { createContext } from 'react';
const MyContext = React.createContext();
export class MyProvider extends Component {
    state = {
        currPrj: ''
    }

    handleBtnClick = prjCode => {

        this.setState({
            currPrj: prjCode
        })

    }

    render() {
        return(
            <MyContext.Provider value={{
                state: this.state
            }}>
                {this.props.children}
            </MyContext.Provider>
        )
    }
}

export const MyComsumer = MyContext.Consumer;

Inside my child component I have:

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import { MyComsumer } from "../../index";

export class ProjectCard extends Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      // currPrj: ''
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <MyComsumer>
        {(context) => (
          <div className="card card-project">
          <p>{context.state.currPrj}</p>
            <div className="content">
              <div className="author">
                <Link to={ `projects/${this.props.code}/detail/info` } onClick={() => handleBtnClick(this.props.code) }>
                  <h4 className="title">
                    {this.props.title}
                  </h4>
                </Link>
              </div>
          </div>
        )}
      </MyComsumer>
    );
  }
}

export default ProjectCard;

This way I get the following error

Failed to compile
./src/components/ProjectCard/ProjectCard.jsx
  Line 32:  'handleBtnClick' is not defined  no-undef

Search for the keywords to learn more about each error.

I don't get it why, because:

<p>{context.state.currPrj}</p>

throws no error...

Plus, is this.props.code passed correctly to the function?

Many thanks.

class Parent extends React.Component {
    	
     	sayHey(son) {
      	alert('Hi father, this is son '+son+' speaking');
      }
    	
      render() {
      	const children = React.Children.map(this.props.children, (child, index) => {
          return React.cloneElement(child, {
            someFunction: () => this.sayHey(index)
          });
        });
      
        return (<div>
          <b>Parent</b>
          <hr />
          {children}
        </div>);
      }
    }
    
    class Child extends React.Component {
      render() {
        return <div>
          <button onClick={() => this.props.someFunction()}>Child</button>
