Miss Namibia 2022, Cassia Sharpley, is visiting some schools in the Oshana Region to motivate pupils and encourage them to be their true selves.

She wants to inspire children to be who they want to be and young people to be self-sufficient and independent.

Young people are encouraged to make their voices heard and work hard to achieve their dreams.

She made these remarks when she spoke to learners at Maurits Devenish Private School in Ongwediva.

Her visit to Oshana will also include a fun day and a fund-raising gala dinner to raise money for a local church and some schools she is visiting.

She is also raising funds for her trip to America to compete in Miss Universe 2022 and to raise the profile of the Namibian nation around the world.
