Onesmus Hipandwa Shoombe (Jnr Kannase)

Jnr Kannase attended the University of Namibia for a diploma in HIV/AIDS Counselling Management. He has attended several more courses in HIV/AIDS and other related challenges and currently serves as the workplace program officer for the Healthworks Business Coalition. He chose the track of Civic Leadership on the Fellowship to build a strong community that thinks and acts together in the field of implementation, and to increase awareness of social challenges through direct community services, engage in constructive dialogue with community non-profit leaders, to develop leadership skills, business acumen, and his professional network. Upon completion of the Fellowship, he plans to continue his work in Namibia Business Coalition and also run his bricks project in the Okahala village in Ombalantu, Namibia. He has a keen interest in writing a novel and is currently working on one titled: The Flood of Battle. He hopes to launch this on his return.
