Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>In commemoration of Heroes\u2019 Day, a group of more than 30 Capricorn Group employees, in their role as Changemakers, today recognized and celebrated different community heroes, the project leaders and volunteers from various community projects, centres and organisations by hosting a special day for them. Local charities are making a phenomenal contribution to our communities to try and alleviate their ongoing needs through their selfless deeds. Caregivers, workers, and volunteers at the different organisations go out of their way with little to no incentives to help vulnerable youth, the elderly, abandoned animals etc., with an objective to change lives and make a positive impact.<\/p>\n

Capricorn Group employees in their role as Changemakers had a chance to pay it forward to our community heroes by carrying out planned activities such as team challenges, game interactions, sharing meals, and packing and distributing care packages. The day was filled with much fun, laughter, and appreciation as Changemakers and community heroes shared conversations, team activities and meals in celebration of Heroes\u2019 Day on 26 August 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Changemaker programme has built a solid reputation for the Group as a Connector of Positive Change within our communities, and we are happy to be able to give back today. As we reflect on the heroic deed of individuals who helped us attain nationhood, we also take time to celebrate the invaluable contribution of our community heroes to society,\u201d said Marlize Horn, Marlize Horn, Group Executive: Brand & Corporate Affairs and Executive Officer: Capricorn Foundation<\/p>\n

Imago Dei CEO, Zack Pienaar also thanked Capricorn Group for their act of kindness, and for the overwhelmingly positive energy of the day. \u201cIf asked to define a \u2018hero\u2019, many of us will include qualities like kind, considerate, selfless and going beyond the call of duty. And those qualities define our caregivers, workers and volunteers who have dedicated themselves to improving society.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Group encouraged more companies to keep supporting the good initiatives of organizations across the country.<\/p>\n
