Bank Windhoek Sponsors School Textbooks

Home Archived Bank Windhoek Sponsors School Textbooks

By Staff reporter WINDHOEK Bank Windhoek’s Social Investment Fund recently donated N$40 500 to Pollination Publishers to print 1 500 Environmental Studies textbooks, which will be distributed free of charge to disadvantaged schools. “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. If we teach our children to see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. As a truly Namibian bank, Bank Windhoek regards it as important to teach the Namibian youth to respect the land they live on and in doing so invest in the future of the country they live in,” said Marlize Horn, Senior Manager of Bank Windhoek’s Marketing and Corporate Communication Services. Pollination Publishers is an all-Namibian publisher whose books are locally written and produced and uses Namibian examples to which the children can relate. Since 2001, the Bank Windhoek Social Investment Fund has invested in the printing of a number of handbooks published by Pollination Publishers and has distributed thousands of these handbooks to disadvantaged schools. These include Afrikaans in NamibiÃÆ’Æ‘Æ‘ÃÆ”šÃ‚« for grades 4, 5, 6 and 7, Mathematics for grades 1, 2 and 3, Wiskunde in NamibiÃÆ’Æ‘Æ‘ÃÆ”šÃ‚« for Grade 2 and Environmental Studies for Grade 1. The bank has during the past seven years not only supported a Namibian entrepreneur, Pollination Publishers, but also invested in the education of the Namibian youth. “Bank Windhoek is truly showing Namibians that they care about the community that they operate in,” said Inger Preiss of Pollination Publishers.
