The All African Students Union Awards Ester Simon

It’s been a magical week for Namibians as one of Namibia’s own Ester Simon was awarded an achievement award at SheGame Awards 2020 that was held in Accra Ghana.

Breaking barriers is nothing new for Ester Simon because not to long ago she became the first-ever woman to be elected as the president for The Namibia National Student Organisation (NANSO) while being the president of the African Union Youth Club in Namibia. Upon winning the award Ester stressed about the importance of women breaking barriers in Namibia.

What an Honor🙏🏽🙏🏽
