Education belongs to all - Nujoma

Elizabeth Joseph Founding President Sam Nujoma has called on all children to be educated, including the children of farmworkers, as he urged the country to bring an end to the cycle of neocolonialism.Namcor recently donated N$80 000 to the Etunda Primary School and clinic. The cheque was handed over to Nujoma, who started the school and clinic initiative.It was started to make sure that the children of farmworkers near Otavi would have an equal opportunity to go to school and receive quality education. Namcor managing director Immanuel Mulunga officiated at the handover of the donation. “We value the project and the labour that our founding father is doing, therefore it gives me great pleasure to make another donation in order to complete the project,” Mulunga said.In total, the petroleum giant has donated N$250 000 towards the project to date. The clinic has been completed and the school is well on its way. The foundation of the kitchen, which the Etunda Primary school will be using, has been laid. Nujoma wishes to have the school up-and-running by the beginning of 2019. He wants the children's education to start as soon as possible. “The children of the farm labourers will grow up without education and will end up becoming farmworkers as well, and the cycle will continue. We have to change that,” Nujoma said. The company hopes to continue this partnership and make sure that more children get the education they deserve, in order to be citizens who grow up and contribute to the economy of our nation. It is extremely important to give every single Namibian child equal opportunities, regardless of their race or status. This project is doing just that. We look forward to seeing the success of the Etunda Primary School and clinic.
