	Congrats To Ohangwena
		I WOULD like to extend words of congratulations to the Ohangwena Education Region for the second anniversary of the annual prize-giving ceremony that took place on the 30th March 2007.
		It is with pride that our region emulates what happens at the national level and for that matter schools, whether primary or secondary, should incorporate prize-giving ceremonies in their annual calendars.
		Hats off also to all those who received awards at these ceremonies because you have paved a way for many of us to put in extra effort in whatever academic or extra curricula activities we are engaged in.

	Bambooweb: Ohangwena
		Ohangwena is one of the thirteen Regions of Namibia.
		The northern and western parts of the region are the most densely populated of this essentially subsistence agricultural region in which small scale mahangu cultivation and the keeping of cattle form the predominant activities.
		There is a reasonable gravel road from Oshikango to Onkongo, and if a road connection linking the region to Rundu were to be built, it would greatly increase the agricultural potential of the area.
