The 16th of June is an African Child Day commemorated throughout the continent every year. The day is meant to commemorate and advocate for the rights of the child for education, health as well as the whole wellbeing of the child. This day has its origin back in 1976 in Soweto, Johannesburg in South Africa. For some schools, children are commemorating the day by performing different activities. In some schools, children will enjoy this day as a normal holiday where they will spend time at home with family. The last scenario was the case with some schools in Opuwo. They had school on the 16th and was given a holiday on the Friday, 17th June.
The right of children to have quality education is well said but many children are still constraint by many issues and cannot enjoy this right. The situation of the children of the Omapitiro Weyuva are classified under those which are not privelleged and therefore limited by different challenges. Lack of money to pay school fees, proper clothing, lack of toiletries and chronic illnesses for some of the children are some of the problems that unabling children to enjoy their rights.
Any donation in terms of clothing, cash to pay school fees and to buy entertainment facilities will make a difference.
I will extent my thanks to everyone who supported a child anywhere and those who contributed to the Omapitiro Weyuva kids club. Your contributions are making a difference in the chilfren lives of the children.
