Christmas comes early for Okahandja Park Kindergarten

Two local manufacturing companies, White Feather Creations and Dinapama Manufacturing and Supplies, joined forces with the UNAM MALTAS CLUB, Namibian Mathematics Institute and the Namibian United States Alumni Association (NUSAA) and staged a very unique yet exciting Christmas party at the Mandume Kindergarten in Okahandja Park recently. The purpose of this Christmas party was to share the joy of Christmas with the children while they are still at the Kindergarten with their teachers and fellow classmates. Approximately 97 children are learning at the Mandume Kindergarten.

Mr. Josephat Tjiho from NUSAA delivered the keynote address where he reassured the learners through a motivational talk about the “Power from Within”. Twenty nine learners from the Kindergarten will be enrolling at various schools for grade 1 in 2017. To ensure that they have a smooth transition to grade 1, White Feather Creations and Dinapama ensured that each learner received a personalised school bag filled with stationery for the first year of their school.

In addition the UNAM MALTAS CLUB and NUSAA will ensure that each of these 29 learners will be well taken care until they reach grade 12 in 2029. This seems like a challenge, but helping these youngsters throughout their school career to be the best leaders they wish to be can indeed support Namibia in the country''s development objectives, in particular some of the pillars of the Harambee Prosperity Plan. After all formalities all learners of the Kindergarten received gifts of toiletries and snacks as part of their Christmas celebrations. The crowed was entertained by Edo Lutete (NBC 1 Third Will Actor) as a special guest and master of ceremonies.
