EVENTS
On Wednesday
31 October 2007, the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF), the Southern African
Institute for Environmental Assessment (SAIEA) and NEWS held a joint office-warming
party to celebrate their new shared facilities.
A representative
of each of the partners said a few words, with NEWS Director, Helge Denker,
pointing out that even though NEWS has the smallest offices, we are actually
the most senior organisation on the premises, having been founded in 1966.
He also
urged everyone present, including the Honourable Minister of MET, Rev.
Willem Konjore, to become a member of NEWS in order to strengthen our
country-wide network of members and partners.
The Honourable
Minister gave the keynote address and officially opened the offices. Dr.
Kalumbi Shangula, the Permanent Secretary of MET, was also present, as
were numerous partners and friends of the three organisations.
The generally
very informal function was a big success, for us particularly in the celebration
of the first dedicated offices of NEWS.
