‘We Care’ charity
drive brings support to Omaheke School
Debmarine
Namibia employees showcased remarkable generosity and compassion through the successful
‘We Care’ employee charity drive, leaving a lasting impact on the learners of
St Helena Primary School in the Omaheke Region.
Staying true
to the company's motto, ‘We Care’ employees came together to sponsor essential
items for the school, located approximately 300 km from Gobabis. St Helena
Primary School caters to 315 learners and is supported by 15 dedicated
teachers. The majority of the learners are San children or children of
farmworkers from nearby farms.
The
contributions included blankets and food items, which addressed critical needs
within the school. Principal David Humbu expressed his heartfelt gratitude,
noting the profound difference the donations made in the students' lives. “Your
generosity shielded our learners from the cold and the threat of hypothermia
during winter. The food donations were an exceptionally thoughtful gesture,
providing essential nourishment for our learners. You not only filled their
tummies but also fuelled their minds. Your commitment to education is deeply
appreciated, and we are truly honoured.”
Additionally,
the kindness extended beyond St Helena Primary School. Vergenoeg School,
located in the same area and serving a similar demographic, also benefited from
donations.
This
initiative highlights Debmarine Namibia employees' dedication to making a
positive impact in communities. Their selflessness embodies the true spirit of
caring, fostering hope and support for learners who need it most.
