300 bags of cement for Omungwelume SS

Former governor of the Ohangwena Region, Usko Nghaamwa, recently said investing in education does not stop, handing over 300 bags of cement to Omungwelume Secondary School.A staunch believer that education is the key to development, Nghaamwa said he will continue to invest in the future of young Namibians for as long as possible.The donation was made possible by Rani group of companies.Nghaamwa said such donations uplift and encourage learners, and are a good way to invest in the education of a Namibian child. This, he said, will give them hope to work hard as they will know that their lives matter and there are those who care about them."Investing in education has no end; every day is a new project to be delivered in education," he said.He urged parents and caregivers not to neglect their children’s education.Strong foundationRani owner Ali Daharani said if one intends to build something concrete, it takes time, hence one does not stop learning.He said life is education as human beings on a daily basis learn something new, adding that children need a strong foundation to compete in this very competitive world which evolves on a daily basis.Omungwelume principal George Nanghanda said the school has come a long way since 2018, with the aim of ensuring that learners have proper accommodation facilities.He said construction has not come easy for them to be where they are today."The school dormitories were completed in 2020 and the parents in September last year took a decision for learners to use the hostel despite it not being registered," he said.The construction of the hostel was initiated after learners who live far away suffered hardship of finding proper accommodation at Omungwelume village settlement, where the school is located.The lack of accommodation at that time resulted in learners renting expensive private rooms and some allegedly using old car wreckages for shelter.The hostel caters for 256 learners, of which 128 are boys and 128 are girls.– tuyeimo@namibiansun.com
