  • SCRIPTWRITING FOR CHILDRENS TV

    We know the magic that comes from seeing the
    world through a child's eyes. We're so excited to
    bring that magic to Namibia, where we'll be
    teaching the next generation of young storytellers
    how to craft their own unforgettable adventures.
    Namibia's children have stories the world needs
    to hear, and we can't wait to help them bring their
    imaginations to life - who knows, the next global
    hit could start right here!

    with the skills to create stunning 3D designs,
    animations, and visual effects. Blender is more
    than just software - it's a gateway to limitless
    creativity and opportunity. Namibia is brimming
    with talent, and I'm thrilled to guide this new
    generation of creators as they bring their bold
    visions to life and make their mark on the global
    stage!"
