Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n

In their efforts to contribute to the education of the Namibian child, the Ongombe Farmer\u2019s Association (OFA) recently provided N$ 25 000 to Okamatapati Combined School in the Otjozondjupa region.<\/p>\n

The donated money will be used for purchasing stationery for grades zero up to nine learners for the 2025 academic year.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the handover ceremony, OFA chairperson Tuvingo Katjitundu said the farmers association\u2019s roles in education must be noticed at all levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur associations are formed by parents, and parents have learners who are going to be the leaders of tomorrow. We must act and reduce pressure from parents and help them in many aspects, such as the education of the Namibian child,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The donated money, is part of the commission deductions from cattle after being sold at auction places.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are taking from the community, and thus it is very important to bring back as well. That is why we urge our farmers to sell at our auctions instead of taking their livestock to other places where it benefits those areas only,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Katjitundu added that OFA is aware of neighbouring farmers who also sell at their auctions, and plans are there to benefit them all.<\/p>\n

He also called on parents to be closer to their children when in school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must be the motivators of education, teach their children discipline, and warn them of unwanted activities at schools. The parents must do away with division within society, and preach unity,\u201d Katjitundu urged.<\/p>\n

Receiving the donation, Okamatapati CS principal Benfried Uendjipa Kaapehi said education is expensive and all stakeholders must play their part.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government needs support, and it cannot solve all the needs. I am very happy for \u2018Ongombe\u2019 to come on board and assist the education of the Namibian child,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the good gesture shown by the OFA will lighten the future of the children, which is a good investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are shaping the bright future of the Namibian child, as the children are the future leaders of our country,\u201d said the principal.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the occasion was Okamatapati traditional leader Chief Zebulon Tjiuoro, who complimented the farmers\u2019 association for their contributions to the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am one of the founders of OFA and witnessing the work they are doing is an honour. We shaped the future, and investing in education is a welcomed gesture,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tjiuoro urged other farmers\u2019 associations in the area to come on board, and support the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must do away with the tendency of relying for everything on government. We must not insult the government when we are hungry, but we must have the knowledge to sustain ourselves when hungry,\u201d said the chief.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time OFA has donated to the school; it pledged N$25 000 and N$ 10 000 previously.<\/p>\n
