Read what 2007 Ford Fellows, pictured above, have said about the program. |
 |
| "My home is home to any Ford Fellow" |
|
| From the Fellowship, one Fellow gained "many new future ideas, renewed energy" and was "happy to see people from all corners of the world having fun for three weeks." They "shared some sad moments together" but "seeing a Jewish Israeli guy having fun with a Muslim Sudanese... It is all possible, and we must not give in to all prejudice." |
|
| "Amazing opportunity, I feel so privileged to be part of it. I learned so much, felt I was with people who understood the world I am in." |
|
| "New perspectives, new energy, sharing of ideas, global perspective, new contacts. I'm refreshed!" |
|
| "I just want to say thank you. I cannot believe this is all over. I am glad I was chosen to be a part of the program and I know I will either be able to use or share the experience with others. It's not easy, trying to change the world for the better. And yet there is nothing better than to be involved in the movement!" |
|
| "I am so inspired by so many things—the interaction with other countries, the studies, the care. The inspiration is both short and long term, things I want to do now and in five years. I discovered qualities in myself which I have been missing for a long time and the program really gave me the tools to both believe in and affect change." |
|
| "The program is so well organized it amazed me everyday!! Well done guys—your contacts are amazing and the opportunities you opened up for us were much appreciated. I think one of my favorite experiences was the country presentations—amazing opportunity to learn and share. And spending time with the other fellows—what else can I say, amazing!!" |
|
"I am going home tired but with the persistence to change this world for the better"
"I believe in myself a little more. I have more people to lean on for advice, support and care."
"Nothing is impossible... Believe in it and you can change the world."
