My time in Opuwo.

My internship in Opuwo comes to an end!

I spend half of this year in the town of my birth working at Agra retail store, Opuwo is town situated at North West of Namibia in Kunene region approximately 722 km away from Windhoek. Has a population of 12,000 people (2009) and it is well known by most people because of distinct traditional culture of Himba and scenic landscapes. I did my thesis on customer’s satisfaction at Agra Opuwo on service and products.

I spent most of my time at Agra opuwo, on the first month of my internship/job attachment was packing the shelves and helping to transport 50Kg maize meal on the trolley to load in customer car. The trolley can take a maximum number of 5 to 6 bags of maize which is 250 Km. most of my friends/family they were not happy with what I was doing as they were expecting me to be in suit and sitting next to the computer. One day my mum’s sister she step in store and found me packing the sheft ‘’she ask uapii what why you were studying is to come and packing the sheft oh my God you wasted our money to pay for your school.’’ I didn’t fell back I keep on with my duty. The month later I moved in the office where I was helping with filing, scanning, and issuing quotation to the farmers. And now, I’m working as cashier, to be a cashier at agra opuwo you need to concentrate as a shop is used to be full and we served approximately 1500 people a day and the shop is small. That wasn’t a constraint to me, I keep on working hard on my day end I was working N$9000 on the average. I did lot of translating animal vaccines/feed to the farmers. On my free time I spent most of my time with my teacher friend Uatungisa Muteze, Teny, and my colleagues at Agra. However, it was good to work in my home ground and I had open some of human networking which met help me on future. Opuwo is crime free town compare to other town in the country. I’m going on 24th December to our farm next to kamanjab to join my family for Christmas and organising village visit for guest from Nebraska on May 2011.

Many thanks to everyone who had supported me in Opuwo!

''Uapii and Freddy at Otjokavare''

uapii helping to sort out cloth!

The village where we left some cloth for school learners.

A weeks ago I received the gift of old cloths from Turkey sent by my friend Mr. Coskun and his co-workers to give it to poor people or people in need of cloths. As proud born of kunene I decided to give this gift to kunene people and I gave some in Windhoek too.

most of people they were thinking that we are selling cloths and the aswear was ''no'' and some they couldn't believe us giving cloth for free. this put smile in face of many kunene specially in Opuwo and Windhoek. Unfortunetely, Namibia school are in the break and we wouldn't found any learners at schools and then we gave some of these cloths to a school teacher to come and give his learners. Mr. Ndjavera was happy to received the cloths on the behave of his learner. And he said'' find me any assistance abroad which will benefiting our school in future either cloths or books for learners at school. Eventually, the box took 2 days to reach W indhoek from Turkey via DHL at cost of U$50.

Many thanks to my friends Mr.Coskun, his co-workers in Turkey and my friend Freddy Kandjeo for giving me his car to transport this to Opuwo. your contribution is valuable and may God/Ala bless you!
