The #Festival is here
For a number of years, Namibia has seen a growing decrease in sport activities at school level. Namibia Media Holdings Group is of the view that it is high time to get out of that void and rekindle the spirit of togetherness and teamwork, while developing natural leadership skills among children throughout Namibia.
It is the company's belief that the country needs the youth to become part of the Namibian team and the #Festival will aim to involve as many school children as possible to take part in the first of such an event. The festival will be held in Windhoek from 7 to 9 September at the SKW sports grounds. Career advice and planning will form the main focus on Thursday when children can visit information stands and attend presentations from various businesses, universities, colleges and vocational training facilities. Children and parents will have the opportunity to find out which educational opportunities are available in Namibia and beyond, and embassies are invited to introduce their countries' educational institutions and study requirements.
The financial sector will present student loan offers and will offer advice on financing a small student vehicle while car dealerships will attend and display their choice of vehicles for the younger generation.
The business sector has also come to the party already, and Bank Windhoek, Deloitte, Intouch, King Price Insurance, Newsprint, Paratus Telecom, Prosperity Health, Shoprite and NMH have all committed financial support to one of the following teams: Arabian Nights, Canyon Rangers, Coastal Dolphins, Delta Lions, Etosha Ravens, Highveld Cheetahs, Oshona Patriots, Pioneer Warriors and the Windhoek Saints. These teams comprise of members from different schools from different regions, to enable the young guns to interact, compete and have fun together.
The sports activities will include rugby, soccer, netball, hockey, volleyball, tennis, sprints, swimming and a cheerleader's competition. Saturday's final highlight will be a huge party, with local musical talent as well as musicians from beyond the country's borders performing until late.
