 J.P. Brand Primary School in the Namib Desert

Erongo Region was unusually hot for this time of the year as our senior sales representative, John Muyambango, reports. 

John has just got back from his biannual school visits in the region. He made effort to see the teachers at a very remote location, close to 70 km outside of Walvis Bay, in the heart of the Namib Desert. The J.P. Brand Primary School has only 290 learners, but the spirits there are high and John enjoyed a very warm welcome from both learners and their teachers.

Reprints time

It has been a while since our last update on what is happening at NPH. The start of the year has been extremely busy for us, and it is likely to stay that way in the months to come. 

Our Production Manager is swamped with reprints for the school orders these days. This is what the floor of her office looks like today:
