Our emerging leaders all\u00a0successfully\u00a0completed the 2012 U.S. Department of State and espnW Global Sports Mentoring Program!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of our ladies, with the help of their mentors, finished their action plans. Some totaled over 70 pages listing vision, mission, timelines for implementation, networks and financial resources. They shared their plans with each other with 10-minute power-point presentations, then celebrated a couple days later with a formal luncheon at the State Department!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now they have bid farewell to the U.S. and returned home, but the story doesn’t end here. This past month has been full of great memories of the women bonding together as sisters and encouraging each other in this challenging step forward. The work starts now, and we trust the rewards will come with a future of girls who feel strong, confident and empowered to reach their goals without letting cultural norms bring them down.<\/p>\n

17 strong women. 17 countries about to be turned around for the better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIsn’t that incredible?<\/p>\n
