NIPAM holds Staff Prayer session
NIPAM holds Staff Prayer session
NIPAM staff members recently gathered in order to have an institutional
prayer session. This prayer session came from the need to strengthen staff
morale during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic that is ravaging the country.
NIPAM as an institution prides itself on the wellbeing of all its staff members
which is why initiatives like the prayer session and many others are organized
to promote the mental health of all staff members. The need for intervention
was made more pertinent as many of the NIPAM staff like the majority of
Namibians have personally felt the effects of Covid-19 in their personal lives.
NIPAM Executive Director Ms Maria Ndatiwelao Nangolo had a few choice words to
say to the staff at the prayer session by encouraging them to keep working hard
as they have been and informed staff to keep prayer in their toolkit going
forward into the new normal. The prayer session was conducted outside in the
open parking area with social distancing maintained to maintain safety.
Staff members expressed great appreciation for the initiative and thanked
management for organizing it. NIPAM staff initiatives in addition to prayer sessions
include a social club that collects money internally in order to fund financial
contributions to staff members in the form of institutional donations in case
of personal loss of loved one’s or care packages to help staff members through
difficult times.
