BotswanaPost Calls on Young Writers for International Letter Writing Competition.

Botswana has a strong history in the competition, and organizers are hopeful that this year’s participants will continue that tradition. The top three winners at the national level will receive exciting prizes, with their submissions being judged based on creativity, originality, and adherence to the theme.
