Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Former Ohangwena governor Usko Nghaamwa last week donated N$126 000 to the Onakaale Combined School\u2019s learners and teachers.<\/p>\n

Of this amount, N$55 000 will be awarded to the overall best-performing learner, while the second-best learner will receive N$25 000.<\/p>\n

The best teacher will get N$16 000, and second-best N$8 000.<\/p>\n

N$22 000 of the total donation was already handed over last year – N$19 000 went to the school\u2019s cultural group and N$ 3 000 was given to parents to take care of their children.<\/p>\n

Since becoming patron of the school in 2008, Nghaamwa has been digging deep into his pockets to prioritise the school. That same year, he contributed materials worth N$22 700 to help build the school\u2019s library, and in 2017 donated stationery worth N$10 000 and a deep freezer.<\/p>\n

In 2022, he also donated N$117 400 worth of materials to construct a fence for the school.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Nghaamwa highlighted the need to invest in the education of the Namibian child.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching a Namibian child is creating a better future for the country. Investing in a child\u2019s education is investing in a life-long benefit that will never get old,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Nghaamwa thus encouraged the learners to study hard so that they can uplift the Namibian economy through manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should learn how to manufacture our own finished goods to avoid ordering or buying from other countries,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Ohangwena chief of planning in the directorate of education, arts and culture Petrus Fotolela acknowledged Nghaamwa\u2019s commitment and dedication to the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe donation is an important part of greater efforts to connect our communities through the provision of quality education and strategic infrastructure investment, and is a major step in stimulating next-level socio-economic development in the school,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Like Nghaamwa, Fotolela reasoned that investing in children will secure a better future for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur education ministry understands it is responsible for providing the infrastructure that will serve the next generation of learners and the next generation of job- creators that are vital to the health of our community and to propel us through the Fourth Industrial revolution,\u201d continued Fotolela.<\/p>\n

School principal Sanio Mutilifa said from the N$117 400 worth of material which was donated last year, materials worth N$22 999 were left, which they used to build a storage room.<\/p>\n

\u201cWords alone cannot express our gratitude to Nghaamwa. May you never lack any good thing in your life, just as your name Nghihepavali means. You are heaven-sent; our rescuer in good and bad times,\u201d a thankful Mutilifa told him.<\/p>\n
