Dhieu Lual Aken, 38-year-old and also the father of three children, said the training will equip him with much-needed photographic techniques that will support him to acquire a job with one of the media local dailies in the country.
"It has been my dream to become a professional photographer and tell a story using a camera. I believe the training will earn me a job that can support my family's basic needs," Aken told Xinhua.
Aken expressed physical disability has not affected his human senses, saying he has experienced rejection and hardships, but adversity will never deter him from becoming a videographer.
Another participant, 27-year-old Laku Bonnaparte, said as a graduate of economics and business administration from a local university, he would love to own a studio once he learns how to operate a camera.
"As you have seen me moving with crutches, I will use my hands, mind to operate the camera," Laku told Xinhua.
Jok Solomon Anyang, a freelance professional photographer, the organizer and facilitator of the training, told Xinhua that his aim is to empower people with physical disabilities to be able to cover and narrate their own stories to the world.
He said the 12 participants include six females, and his team of six professional photographers will equip the learners with the basic photographic techniques, including how to set the camera among others.
"It took me three months to decide why I wanted to train people living with physical disabilities on photographic skills and the reason was that they are the most neglected but they need to have knowledge," Jok said.
