One day my students will be reporting the daily news to you! In our school, we have broadcasting and journalism classes without proper technology.

We are an inner city school that would like to change the future of our students. I have a group of "go-getters" that want to research, interview, and report the news to their fellow students, parents, and administrators.

With the use of pocket size flip video recorders, these students can interview within the school and outside in the community with accuracy, professionalism, and enthusiasm.

These students are taking this class by storm and will be with me for the next three years. Giving these students proper equipment will help ready them for their college endeavor and future in broadcasting/journalism. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our program and taking the time to review this proposal. One day, one of my students may be reporting the news live to you from CNN. Thank you for your time.
