Neatoramanaut Zavatone Bought a School and Donated Computers in Africa - What a Good Guy!

Plenty of people talk about helping Africa, but never actually do anything about it. But not our very own Neatoramanaut Zavatone!

When he wasn't busy correcting my tpyos and grammatical errors, Zavatone and his friends actually "bought" a school and donated laptops to school kids in Namibia:

In Namibia, up by Angola, next to the Okavongo river, is a high school full of 600 Namibian kids and 1/3 to 1/2 of them are orphans. I drove up to the Leevi-Hakusembe Secondary School (High School) in Rundu, Namibia at the request of the Ambassador and Minister of Foreign Affairs to speak and to donate some computers that I bought for them. It was an amazing and heartwarming opportunity, I wish I had more time to spend at the school. The trip is about a 3 day trip up and back from the capitol (Windhoek) and about 900 miles since you can't drive at night.

He also took some amazing photos of the countryside along the way: http://www.youtube.com/zavatone

We're proud of you, Zavatone! Keep up the good work!


Duuuude! Alex! You rock man! Thanks so much for posting this. I'll be going back to Namibia in another month to stop by the Cheetah Foundation, the schools (900 miles of fun driving : / ) and befriend and stray beers that happen to find their way into my path. Oh, and in case you wonder what some of the roads are like after the floods, here ya go. (Yes, I do sound that annoying, it appears) http://www.youtube.com/zavatone#p/u/3/-UjbKv4FFLY

Thanks again man! Free spell checking on me!

Way to go, Zavatone! My mother taught at a high school in Namibia near Angola for a year in the Peace Corps. Unfortunately, I can't find her right now to see if it's the same school.

Miss C! OMG. I wrote you about this last year before I went, but think we missed each other. This school is 30 KM west of Rundu. There is another Christian school that I was not able to get to near Rundu where some of the teachers wanted me to stop by. Anyway, I mapped out my trip ala Google Earth after I got back and it's a bit of a trip to see. Should be going back in about a month or two. Really looking forwards to it.

Cheers,
- Zav (aka Alex Zavatone)

Violet, I am such a buzzkill. I shall work diligently to make up for my good karma that these misguided efforts have may have caused.

Back to gluing puppies to kittens to ducklings for 3x added cuteness.
