Together with 9 other student volunteers, I will be going out to Namibia to run a public health campaign centered around heart health. We will be working with students from the University of Namibia and J.A. Nel School to educate, raise awareness, and design the campaign. In addition to raising awareness of heart-related issues throughout Namibia, we also hope to both inspire and build the confidence of the students at J.A. Nel School, hopefully helping to open doors for them to attend university. ‘Our kids are coming from very poor backgrounds; their self-esteem is not there – they don’t know where they are heading’. – Elizabeth Beukes, Headteacher at J. A. Nel School.
