To commemorate the Day of the African Child, Omusati Regional Council Chairperson and Councillor for Ogongo, Daniel Iilenda donated tables and chairs worth N$30,000 to Eendombe Combined School on 16 June.
Iilende said the government cannot do everything alone and that everyone has a role to play in supporting communities. “This is why I decided to meet the government halfway by donating from my salary, together with the support from my associates, to purchase materials used to make the chairs and tables.”
Principal at Eendombe Combined School, Taimi Iidhini expressed her gratitude and appreciation to Iilende for the generous gift and for his commitment to improving the lives of Namibian children. Speaking on behalf of all the children in the school, Grade 5 learner Hilya Stefanus thanked Iilende for his kindness, good leadership and for keeping the promise he made last year to return and visit them with gifts.
“The donation will improve the learning environment of Namibian children and support their educational needs,” the Regional Council said.
