Telecom Namibia is pleased to acknowledge the remarkable achievements of the Namibia Wildlife Resorts' (NWR) recent third annual half-marathon. Held on June 1st at the Gross Barmen Resort near Okahandja, the event fostered a spirit of health, community, and charitable giving.

This year's NWR half-marathon transcended athletic competition. Organizers sought to raise funds for a critical initiative: providing school shoes to students in Kavango East and Ohangwena Regions. The enthusiastic participation of runners, walkers, sponsors, and organizers resulted in exceeding the fundraising goals. This accomplishment translates to a significant number of underprivileged children receiving proper footwear, a fundamental element for a positive and comfortable learning environment.

The scenic Gross Barmen Resort provided a picturesque setting for athletes of varying abilities. From seasoned marathoners conquering the 21.1km half marathon to families enjoying a refreshing 5km walk, the NWR half-marathon offered a diverse range of distances to suit individual fitness levels. The event exuded a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie and a shared sense of achievement.

Telecom Namibia is proud to have been a partner in this successful event. The company's sponsorship of the NWR half-marathon was driven by a commitment to:

• Promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity among Namibians.
• Support educational equity by providing school shoes to underprivileged children.
• Cultivate a spirit of community engagement and philanthropy.

The resounding success of the NWR half-marathon exemplifies the transformative power of collaboration in achieving positive societal change. Telecom Namibia remains steadfast in its support of initiatives that promote health, education, and community development throughout Namibia.

Telecom Namibia extends its sincere congratulations to the organizers, participants, and fellow sponsors who contributed to making this event a remarkable success.
