On July 15, Scouts from Scotland and Namibia handed over a kindergarten and community vegetable garden to the residents of Omakange village (Namibia) during a special ceremony attended by the King and Queen of the Uukwaluudhi Traditional Authority. The kindergarten/garden is a joint community development venture between the Scouts of Namibia organisation and senior Scouts from Forth Region in Scotland. The kindergarten features a solar-powered classroom building, outdoor ablution facilities and security fencing. It aims at providing quality pre-school education for children up to 6 years old who cannot walk great distances to the local school. The garden project lies within the 1.5-hectare compound and consists of two greenhouses, a borehole, a solar-powered water pump and a 5,000-liter water tank. Vegetables grown in the greenhouses will be used to feed pre-schoolers, while surplus produce will be sold to raise funds for the kindergarten’s upkeep and other needs. The grounds also will be used by local and regional Scouts as a camping area and includes portable showers and toilets. Land for the project was donated by King Josia Tshikongo Taapopi to Scouts of Namibia. A contingent of 47 Scouts and Scout leaders from Scotland traveled to Namibia in early July to work on the project and practice building skills they learned during the past two years. They raised nearly USD 200,000 from supporters in Forth Region and around the world to cover project and travel expenses.
