It’s Summer Holiday Time for Namibian Schools and NaDEET Centre


With soaring temperatures above 40°C in the shade, the summer holidays are here. With a 25% increase in the total number of schools, we have had a very successful school year with a total of 800 participants. We look forward to meeting and working with new schoolchildren and community members after the break. Read our newsletter for more updates.

NaDEET Centre is closed for the summer hoilday until the end of February 2010. During January and early February we are busy renovating the accommodation area at NaDEET Centre. After seven years of intense Namib Desert weather, the houses, showers and toilets are in desperate need of renovation. Please sponsor an item on our wish list below by making a donation today. Thank you for your support!
