I wanted to thank each and every one of you for all the effort you've put into the application. We are just amazed at all the stories, solutions and joy that has come through in the last four weeks. You have been supportive of one another and made friends around the globe. If we could accept each and every one of you into the training program, we would!

What Happens Next?

Over the next three weeks, our team will be reviewing all of your assignments and selecting the 30 women who will start the five month training program in November. We will announce the 2011 Correspondents in this group by October 31st.

In the meantime, we want to let you know about some exciting opportunities coming up!
