I found out from Sam Kapepo that Moses Garoeb Youth Group is already registered! Yippee! As a welfare organisation!

Outreach Feeding at Havana, Windhoek 2010

Registration is possible

The MGYG is still going on, but has had such a hard time registering as a Welfare Organization. I am though very lucky to know about how this process can happen. I have a name and I have place:
Mrs Jacobs, Social Services,3rd Floor of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, that is where they need to go i order to start the process. And it is quite a process. The lady who sits next door to me at work represents Dutch based organization Organge Babies through the Namibian branch LifeAccess. It took them 13 months to get registered, but they did eventually.

So my advice - a member from the MGYG must go to this Mrs Jacobs with all the documentation (especially constitution) and start the process!

As for the rest of you, I hope you can join me this Sunday at the Ombili Youth Center!

Come and Join us!

Are a typical upper middle class Namibian? Do you spend Sunday lunchtime having a braai with your family or at a restaurant? Is your ideal Sunday very laid back?

Good, because we also agree, that is what makes a great Sunday

But there can be more than that.

Come and join us in 2011 for lunchtime where you will be serving children! Don’t worry, you will forget how hungry you are once you loose yourself in the service of countless children who need plates of staple food, juice and oranges. It all happens between 12:00 and 2:30 and guess what may meet some of our international volunteers who work in various organizations in the city. What better way to spend Sunday lunchtime and still have your lunch afterwards. Believe me, it is much for fun to go out to around 15:00 to eat at Spur after having served these children. Alright, we are still far from solving the problem of hunger, but we are getting there, one Sunday at a time.

We just had our last session today with the group’s promoter Sam Kapepo thanking all the member and volunteers for joining him in this wonderful work this year.

Watch this space for when we start in 2011.

Hello and Welcome to the Moses Garoeb Youth Group!

We are a youth driven organization of young Namibians (men and women) who undertake a feeding project for children in the Ombili ‘township’ of Katutura, Windhoek. The Ombili Youth Center is the site of our feeding program for these children who for lack of stable access to food at home, receive food twice a week – Wednesday and Sunday – at the Center.

The Youth Group is volunteer driven and it is maybe the only place where people from different places – who live in different suburbs of Windhoek, backgrounds – unemployed and employed, school leavers and professional degree holders – countries – Namibia, Nepal, the US, Canada, Spain, Germany, Korea and the United Kingdom – come together to feed these children.

Feel free to post on this blog and tell us what you think of the blog and the group, if you have ever attended one of our feeding sessions.
