Gamodubu Child Trust, a children's centre located in one of the poorest settlements on the outskirts of Molepolole, received a shot in the arm when the Botswana Workcamps Association (BWA) University Branch (BUWA) started the groundwork there in an effort to erect a classroom for the children's centre.

Molepolole South Member of Parliament (MP) Daniel Kwelagobe, who was all smiles, spent time at the centre with the youthful volunteers of the university branch. Kwelagobe, also known as DK, was also seen giving a helping hand, as he performed the groundbreaking at the site.  DK told the volunteers of BUWA, led by the BWA president Mils Nan, how grateful he was at their show of magnanimity towards the disadvantaged children at the centre.

DK said the volunteers deserved to be commended for their initiative to be at the forefront towards helping the unfortunate members of the society. "Our society is built through volunteerism. I am impressed by your work and hope it will go beyond just building this classroom here but extend to other unfortunate communities out there," he said.
