The First National Bank of Namibia Foundation donated furniture to the Groot Aub Primary in southern Namibia worth N$144 720. The furniture consists of chairs, desks, notice boards and lockable steel cabinets. This donation was handed over to the acting principal of school, Judika April from the chairperson of the trust, Clara Bohitile.
“Today, we offer this equipment as a means to help develop the future of Groot Aub, in our attempt to make sure that quality education is spread as far and widely as possible and that our children have the resources they need to be cared for and properly educated,” says Bohitile. “For our learners here at Groot Aub Primary School, receiving this new equipment sends a very strong message. It says that FNB Namibia cares deeply about your success and is prepared to invest in your future.”
April was grateful to receive the donation as “it has placed smiles on the faces of all the learners, teachers, parents and the entire Groot Aub community at large.” She adds that parents play a vital role in the success of their children’s education. She requested parents to go the extra mile and to ensure that they create a conducive learning environment for their children. She also promised to the FNB team that the furniture will be well taken care of.
The ministry of education was present to assist with the handover and permanent secretary, Sanet Steenkamp urged parents to invest in their children’s education. “The ministry is doing everything in their power to make sure that all children are treated with dignity. Something as little as making sure your children look clean and are properly dressed is contributing to this investment. We all play a role to make sure our children reach their full potential.”
