Pamwe group spreads easter joy

What started as a simple conversation between Tangeni Ndeitunga and Waldau Naruseb quickly turned into something powerful. They wanted to collect Easter eggs and deliver them to children in orphanages and elders in old age homes, just to bring smiles and show that they are not forgotten.Together with their friends Ileni Hitula, Elly Nandago, Pandu Shaduka, Abassier Leukes and Innocent Enkali, the group formed what they call ‘Pamwe’, meaning "together" in both Oshiwambo and Otjiherero. Their mission was simple: To bring joy where it’s needed.Using social media and word-of-mouth, they collected Easter eggs, warm clothes, blankets and toiletries. The response from the community was overwhelming; proof that kindness is contagious. Over the Easter weekend, from Good Friday to Holy Saturday, the group visited several orphanages and old age homes. They did not just drop off donations, they stayed, played, laughed and listened. They spent time with the children and elders, reminding them that they are seen, loved and cared for.One moment that touched the group deeply was seeing an elderly woman light up over a simple chocolate egg. “She held it like it was gold,” Ndeitunga shared. “It reminded us that small acts of kindness can mean the world to someone.”The children were full of joy and excitement. Their laughter filled the spaces, and their hugs showed how much it meant to be remembered.Though the project began with just two friends, it quickly became a movement, proof that young people can make a difference when they work together.“That’s why we called ourselves Pamwe,” said Ndeitunga. “Because together, we can do so much more.”Their work will not end with Easter. The team has already done winter drives and Christmas visits in the past, and they are planning to support hygiene, education and mental health in the future. They dream of giving not just gifts, but opportunities, care and hope.This group has shown that no one is too young or too little to make a difference. Through teamwork and love, they turned Easter into something truly unforgettable.
