Namport spreading the love at the Walvis Bay Correctional Facilities

The Bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive, it is with this very notion and with this year’s theme of Being Grateful that some of the Namport ladies visited the female offenders in the Walvis Bay Correctional Facilities today.

The love token that was handed over to the female convicts was welcomed with open hearts as the ladies indicated that such kind gestures from entities are very much needed as some of the ladies are far away from their families and do not get regular supply of their necessities.
Speaking at the hand-over, Assistant Commissioner Erwin Axakhoeb from the Correctional Facility thanked the Namport team for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit the female prisoners on this day, 14 February that is known as the day of love.
He further encouraged other entities and community members to follow the example set by Namport.
Ms Rhone Du Plessis who spoke on behalf of Namport encouraged everyone present to never give up and that there are always second chances in live.
The team that represented Namport handed over more than 50 parcels containing a few basic cosmetic items valued at N$3 500. The money which was raised by Namport staff members themselves was as a result of fund-raising initiatives conducted last year at Namport.
