The opportunity i am on about is about getting to go over to Africa with your photography, voluntarily of course, but still a wonderful opportunity. If you are into story telling with your photography, journalism or video. Here is some information on the Scheme:
LearnAsOne is a charity which funds schools in Africa. We strongly believe that our donors deserve to see exactly how their money is spent.
So we share stories, photos and videos from every community we work with and introduce supporters to the children whose lives they are changing. This creates an ongoing need for experienced (i.e. really good) storytellers to join us on our trips to Africa to document our projects.
We are looking for a photographer, journalist and camera op to help uncover and tell community stories in a very raw form, plus follow-up with the people we met on our previous trips. We also need video editors to edit footage soon after we return to the UK.
A small number of stories and photographs need to be uploaded onto our blog and twitter while we are in Africa. You’ll also be expected to contribute stories for at least six-months after the trip to provide regular content for our supporters. Rawly edited video needs to follow a week or two after the trip and again continue over the next six months. Please take a look at this photo story and the work of volunteers Adam and Brenda to see the type of stories we have told so far.
These opportunities are voluntary and will need to be self-funded.

The next job i think i should talk about is a schools photographer, the type you get when you were at school getting a class photo and what not, i have found many adverts for these photography positions. I can't see why this should be but i can only assume that it is a rather unliked photography job.
The best one i could find was advertised with Tempest Photography. (information below)
