First time at this small town in Namibia

About two weeks ago, I went to Oranjemund with work.  Before the Local Authority elections,  Almost everything in Oranjemund such as the hospitals, schools, houses and much more belonged to Namdeb. After the elections, the Gov of Namibia will take over. Currently people can not buy houses, or own business easily.  But this will change soon. People will be able to buy houses, and own business.
Interesting things I found about Oranjemund.
White people(Boers) shop in the same shop as black people and they mingle well together unlike in Windhoek. White(Boers)  people smile, and they look happier compared to the Boers in Whk. People don't lock their houses often, and young girls are free to walk at 12am. I think this will change once the town open ups. There is only one main shop (Spar), and very expensive. 
99% of the schools I visited bought Yambeka Children Story books. They were very happy, and asking for more titles. The weather was interesting apparently it rain once or twice per year. It was cold most of the time. I really had a great time. Thank you to my friend Beatha and her siblings for accommodating me.
I had an opportunity to visit the Orange River too.

Here are some of the pictures!

2011 was a wonderful year!

Some of the highlights of my life in 2011. I returned home after 9 years of living in the USA. I'm still getting used to the lifestyle here. Overall am happy to be reunited with my family and friends. Yambeka Children Media received a number of recognition. Starting with Good Morning Namibia, FNCC book launch, Newspapers (The Villager, New Era, Namibian, and The Republikan), also Yambeka Children Media was selected as top 10 for the Best Business Idea (Namibia Business Innovative). See you next year!!!!!!!!!!!!! have a blessed 2012. My resolution for 2012: The year of massive production!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my customers are from Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, France, etc! While at the event, I had a live radio interview with Toni from the  NBC radio.
