AH: We promoted the game with the help of the NCRST. They funded our game last year [2015], that’s when we won the Innovation Award and we were able to make our dream come true. So now the Owela Game is on a touch table, which allows people to insert coins and companies to advertise on the platform so that they can get exposure. We also have people who are interested in buying the game, because it’s a game that’s played by all the tribes in Namibia. MYD: Is that the purpose of the game, to bring people together? AH: Yes, that’s the purpose of the game. It’s almost like chess. Some people call it the African chess. MYD: Aron, where do you find your drive? AH: I find my drive to keep going in God. God is my helper. Now, as I speak, I really have been through a lot of problems to get to where we are right now, but He always sees us through. He always delivers us from problems. MYD: Is there a message that you would like to share with Namibia? AH: I want to say that we should work hard rather than always looking to the government to do something for us, rather than waiting for our parents to do something for us or to show us the way. Look around, do something. We have opportunities, a lot of opportunities. Look around you. That service that you don’t like – you can improve it yourself, you can turn it into something that can bring you wealth. So look around you.
