On this Genocide Remembrance Day, here is a flashback to our piece 'Well Wish Ya', performed at the Theatre of Namibia in 2019, with Syrian Artist Kevork Mourad, the OYO dance troupe and guests.

Remembering - and more importantly learning from the past, honouring the fallen while finding ways to become better, is terribly important. Let us learn from the last centuries in order to create a society that is tolerant, inclusive, respectful.

Flashback on our extremely successful High-Level Breakfast last week, co-hosted by OYO with the Embassy of Finland in Windhoek - Suomen suurlähetystö Windhoekissa and Unesco Namibia.

Our deepest words of appreciation go to Hon. Emma Kantema Minister of Gender Equality and Child Welfare, for gracing the event with her presence, as well as our panelists and the dancers part of the 'Hear Me' project.

While Namibia has made good progress in terms of inclusive education for people with different abilities, much still needs to be done. So congratulations on all the participants for contributing towards the conversation.

Flashback to our campaign in Rehoboth: spending full days in the communities does make a difference: we can really meet people, appreciating their surroundings, spending time with them, encouraging them to go and learn more about HIV, access condoms and PrEP, know their status.

The day spent in Volstruisvlakte is etched in our memories. Thank you to Switzerland in South Africa for making it possible, as well as Walvis Bay Corridor Group and the fantastic OYO team.
