GONDWANA’S Etosha King Nehale Lodge was this past weekend the scene of an important fundraising event, described by the organisers as an emphatic success.
A cash amount of over N$400 000 was collected and/or pledged, while the in-kind donations included six head of cattle and two sheep.
The event was organised by the Oompale Trust Fund and was, among others, attended by
Omukwaniilwa Fillemon Shuumbwa Nangolo of the Ondonga Traditional Authority (OTA) who is also the Trust Fund’s patron.
According to Oombale Trustee Loise Shixwameni, the amount of slightly over N$400 000 does not include the lodge’s in-kind donation of 30 free rooms for the duration of the event that lasted two days.
