Gobabis Standard Bank staff spent Ascension Day with vulnerable children housed at Val and Opstaan Care Centre in the Gobabis informal settlement.

Staff members prepared breakfast and lunch for a group of more than twenty children.

Group Spokesperson Jaco Barnard said it is high time that everyone come on board to aid the needy and make them feel special.

Omaheke Governor Pijoo Nganate commended Standard Bank and its staff for the helping hand extended. 

The work of a journalist can be daunting but rewarding.

However, the goal should always be to make a difference in one's environment.

Devi Sankaree Govender, a South African award-winning investigative journalist, shared the sentiments during Standard Bank's media engagement.

Journalists put their lives at risk and face numerous challenges to get information out to the public.

The profession requires one to be bold and daring.

Which sometimes leads to confrontations, threats, and life-threatening moments.

The third edition of the Standard Bank Junior Hockey National Festival took place at Windhoek High School for two days. Both U11 girls and boys from different hometowns participated in the festival at the Windhoek High School field on Saturday. Each team played three matches in their respective pools, resulting in two teams from each pool advancing to the quarterfinals.

The Standard Bank will hold a Biomass Fair 2023 from September 7 to September 9 at Okahandja.

The fair aims to promote the booming biomass sector in Namibia.

Bush biomass is organic matter that is from the bush and can be used for value chains such as energy, production, and bush feeds.

The CEO of Namibia Biomass Industry Group, Progress Kashandula, says Namibia is impacted by bush encroachment, and when approached correctly, it can lead to increased livestock production, groundwater recharge, employment, and biodiversity.
