outlined challenges to academic and professional progress and detailed how these barriers have been overcome successfully,
outlined examples of work experience in the field of International Development, including community and voluntary work,
clearly articulated future ambitions; these goals relate to the postgraduate degree you have applied for, and how your learning will benefit others from your country or Africa in general.
