Thanks

In case of freelance photogrphers what documentation is required to apply
Hi Dominique,
I have read through the requirements and I will be applying.
Thanks for the opportunity.

I work for two organisations, the first being a magazine that reports monthly on football news. The second being a weekly newsparer with the largest circulation in the country. Besides i have never benefited from any such training and being a sports reporter i think the best time to benefit is now as we await the first ever African World Cup.
Coming from Botswana again should work to my advantage as we hardly have such benefits coming our way. I also boast of more than 10 years experience in the industry and the course will go a long way in helping me refresh and become a better and improved writer.
Sir
I would be grateful to be part of the course that will enhance my ability to both take pictures properly and post the images on my website. a course of this nature would be of great help especially for someone staying in botswana where a chance to be trained in such are rare. this would also be a chance to have both our magazine which is Botswana’s premier and business publication and the nation at large. Most of our business readers are very avid followers of sports of all kinds and now and again we update them on the different sports codes. we are sure to learn a lot from such a eye-opening course at the Business Diary Botswana magazine. What we lack is the ability to excel in graphical presentatin of images that accompany our articles. The course will greatly appreciated by the management and staff at the magazine.
