San communities in western Zambezi are happy with the construction of a hostel at Ndoro Memorial Primary School at Omega Three village. Some children in the rural areas of Namibia still walk long distances to school and this is adversely affecting quality learning and teaching. To mitigate the situation, the Government has approved hostels in some of the most remote areas in the country. Ndoro Memorial Primary School of the formally marginalized San community is one of the beneficiaries. Apart from the distance to and from school, hunger also contributes to the high drop-out rate of the poor San learners who often turn up in numbers at the beginning of the year. The Headman of Omega Three village applauds the state for the initiative and appeals to his community to take advantage of the opportunity to educate their children.
