Amazwi
Dear Friends, Family and Supporters of Amazwi,
Due to the economic crunch and Amazwi’s ongoing difficulties in obtaining reliable funding, we have decided to close all Amazwi projects in 2009. During this time, however, Amazwi’s founder Maggie Messitt who is still based in rural South Africa will be looking for donors ...to assist in funding journalism scholarships and professional development grants.
It is our hope that during 2009, we will be able to gather a small amount of funding so to assist the Amazwi School of Media Arts 2007 graduates and the Amazwi Villager Journalism Internship Program Participants (2008) with further professional development. This can be in the form of conference, further coursework, or funding a long-term writing project.
Please e-mail Maggie Messitt to learn more about how you can help give further voice to the women of Amazwi.
