VOF 2013: Congratulations and Good Luck to All

Having been a Listener for the first time in VOF 2013 has been thrilling. Each and every story I reviewed for the process was amazing and it has been very difficult sometimes to assess them. I'm very glad I participated and I cant' wait for next year to do it again!

I know waiting for the answer must have been nerve-wrecking for all the applicants. I hope all of you will remain on World Pulse and share more of your experiences, because your voice is truly needed on our forum. I think particularly of the women who wrote great stories that I had the chance to read, such as Hannah Ojo, Limpo, Enas Lofty, Fozia Yasin, Purpulromeo, Tadzie, Nelly Bassily, Passy, Pooja Pant, Yessi Writes, MyrtleG, Sunga, Madeleine Bwenge, Atzili, Meetak, Upasana C, Estherkitenge, Rahmana Karuna.

I enjoyed reading you and you made me think a lot about the challenges and solutions you describe.

My congratulations for having been selected go to all 31 women and girls, but especially to Mukut, Mahrukh Pasha, Monica09, Joy Spencer, Jampa. You go ladies!

In a nutshell; I will go on reading as many stories as I can, whether their authors have finally been selected or not. Thanks for sharing so much with us.

Heartful greetings to all!
