Namibia: Linda Lauches Campaign to Help Pupils With Fees

28 November 2012

Windhoek — Teenage singer, songwriter and awards winner at this year's Namibia Annual Music Award (NAMAs), Linda Pendukeni Simasiku, has launched her campaign called "Help a Child, Pay School Fees".

Linda decided on this campaign since she has been interested in education and want to help fellow children and to make good use of the money which she won at the NAMAS. Linda scoops three awards in Best Newcomer, Best RnB and Best Song of the Year categories. These won her a combined cash prize of N$65 000. She will now spend some of that on paying for the school fees of marganalised children nationwide. "Education is very close and dear to my heart. Therefore, I am going to use some of my winnings in 13 schools countrywide in school fees for 2013. I will only choose one child from each of the 13 regions," says Linda.
