BEC Awards hail special needs children

The Orange Foundation is set to award top achieving students in the Special Needs Category at the Botswana Examination Council’s (BEC) 5th Annual Excellence Awards today (Friday).

This is the fifth time in a row that Orange is supporting the Awards category, in recognition of students’ hard work and excellence in their final examinations, despite their circumstances.  Orange Botswana spokesperson, Boga Chilinde said disability and education are strong pillars of Orange Foundation and hence it supported the initiative as part of its strategy to promote the inclusion and recognition of people living with disability, as well as their access to education.

“We believe that identifying and awarding these students for excellence will go a long way in motivating them to believe in themselves and consequently give them the confidence to integrate into society and contribute to the country’s economic development,” she said.
