In July, the time had finally come and the inauguration of the educational project „Bridge of Hope“ was officially celebrated. Many dignitaries from various ministries and educational institutions were present. The boys and girls aged between 1 and 15 performed small presentations, which had been rehearsed in advance for months with the teachers in joyful anticipation of the event.

Project manager Melvyrine Bock (Milly) had also invited the entire police force of Rehoboth to demonstrate: we work together and carry out early prevention against drugs!

Committed with heart and perseverance

In every speech, Milly’s social commitment, her expertise and determination, as well as her perseverance, were mentioned. Andy Kastoor from the town council said: „Milly is on duty every day until she has enforced her ideas.“

The inauguration ceremony was organised for all donors and supporters. Our board member Festus Tjikuua was also there and reported to the guests about steps for children.

Milly also emphasised the collaboration with steps in her speech and described how the school will continue to develop in the future with the support of steps for children.

For 5 years, Milly has been coordinating the project work for steps in Rehoboth in the two kindergartens/pre-schools „Heart for the Children“ and „Otto Gamseb“. We are very pleased to now accompany even more children in Rehoboth on their educational journey together with her.

Thank you, Milly, for your tireless commitment, your class and your big heart!
