MY INTERNSHIP AT NCMH

PERSONAL PROFILE

Introduction

My name is Benjamin Sidori Ombiri, and currently am an intern at Nairobi Community Media House. I have a Diploma in Media Techniques, and before joining Nairobi Community Media House, I did freelance work in magazine publication as an editor and Community Participatory Theatre for social change, as an actor and a trainer.

 

Experience and Achievements in Nairobi Community Media House

Since I joined the media house in February, I have gained a lot of experience in camera work, editing, reporting and scripting among others. I have also gained confidence both in the field and back in the studio, thanks to the entire staff, as they have always encouraged and assisted me, whenever  a challenge came up.

My opinions and contributions have also been appreciated during meetings and when doing clustering, and this has really boosted my self-esteem.

In that period, I have also participated fully in production of two journals; Maternal Love and another on Water and Sanitation and this is the biggest achievement  for me.

Expectations

While in Nairobi Community Media House, I expect to learn more on production and also to put more input to ensure that the company’s goals and objectives are achieved and that the company grows to be one of the best in Africa.
