Oshakati gets N$96 000 from Cashbuild's Art-at-Heart
Mr Andries Nanyanga, principal of Ondjora Combined School was particularly excited to hear the news that, along with seven lucky schools, Ondjora has won a Cashbuild building materials voucher for N$12 000. The vouchers were presented to the schools at the Cashbuild Oshakati store opening ceremony on 17 March 2011.
Mr Nayanga said: “We plan to adopt chickens from the community and build chicken coops to assist the learners in their agriculture class. We will buy fencing, mesh wire, cement, metal sheets and various other materials to build the coops. This is a very exciting project and we are so grateful that Cashbuild has made this possible.”
Ongwediva Control Primary School principal, Mr. Hofni Kapolo said: “There are various mini projects we want to complete with the voucher from Cashbuild. We plan to purchase building materials to build a netball court for the school learners, as well as finish building the school hall which is a combined community project. Thank you Cashbuild!”
At the official Cashbuild store opening on 17 March, when the vouchers totaling N$96 000 were presented to all eight schools, the children showed their appreciation by entertaining everyone with singing, cultural dances and theatrical performances.
The Cashbuild Art-at-Heart competition entails learners from each school submitting their best artwork to Cashbuild. This artwork was displayed at the Oshakati opening ceremony, and will remain on display in the Cashbuild store for the next five years.
Artwork was judged and three winners from each school were named. The winning children received Cashbuild Art-at-Heart gold, silver and bronze certificates for first, second and third place respectively. The Manager’s Choice award was also presented to the lucky winner of the artwork competition. This award was announced on the day - Hilka Thomas from Oniimwamdi J.P. School received a stationery pack and a glass trophy.
