Senator Ntube Agnes Ndjock of the South West region has donated didactic materials to pupils and students of the division.
The school needs were distributed to the pupils and students last Wednesday September 14, 2022 in Bangem, headquarters of the Kupe Muanenguba division. During the event held at the Bangem Council Hall, the Senior Divisional Officer, SDO, for Kupe Muanenguba division in the South West region, Mungambo Ekema William praised the CPDM Senator for the philanthropic gesture.
Pupils and students came from Bangem, Tombel, and Nguti. Addressing the schoolchildren, Mungambo said the gifts from the senator will boost school attendance in the division. Figures of children already back in the classrooms have kept growing away from the first year of the crisis when campuses were empty. Now children are able to go to school and parents aren’t stopping them. But the hardship, more so because of the crisis has pushed many parents further down below the poverty line. Many cannot afford school needs for their children. No doubt the SDO said the Senator has sent the gift as a mother who knows what parents go through, in a period where most people have deserted their homes. According to the SDO, these gifts to kids and students are a proof that Senator Ntube thinks of the future of children and wellbeing of her people in general. The SDO said the beneficiaries from the Senator’s largesse came from the “hinterlands where suffering is at its peak”.
Assisting the underprivileged is second nature to Senator Ntube. The SDO said she has been touching lives. “It is not everywhere we find senators reaching out to their communities. By touching nursery, primary, and secondary school kids, it means you have touched the society,” the SDO said as he urged the beneficiaries to put the donation to good use. Like Oliver Twist, Mungambo has pleaded with the senator to include teachers next time.
Speaking on behalf of Senator Ntube, her alternate Chief Ekwoge Joseph of Ngusi, said the gifts have been donated because of the return of peace and the wish to have a smooth resumption of classes.
One of the beneficiaries, Godwil Ngole Ekane of Government Bilingual High School, GBHS Bangem who received books, pens, and an umbrella promised to be the best student in his class.
The package from the senator included books, pens, pencils, rulers, packets of chalk, umbrellas, sharpeners, soft drinks, biscuits, amongst others. Education is a priority area for the senator. She has been donating scholarships to students in the past.
