From Mumbai to Massachusetts, the 2009 Class of Echoing Green Fellows [1]announced today, represents a diverse group of 17 social entrepreneurs, many of whom are honing their skills as social citizens and leveraging technology for social change. With 1,000 applicants the competition was intense, but the fourteen projects announced today, represent some of the most innovative ideas in areas from civil and human rights to education and public service. That’s why we’ll be watching with great interest as these leaders carry their work forward.
We join in congratulating the newest members of Echoing Green’s network of social entrepreneurs who work each day to solve social, economic and environmental problems throughout the world. To see a complete list of the 2009 Fellows, and learn more about their projects, visit Echoing Green [2].
Also, we know there are plenty of Echoing Green Fellows in the making, and we’d like to feature some of these bright faces and ideas in our new series “Social Citizen Sightings.” [3] Please fill out this quick form [4] if you have a group or individual you'd like to nominate for the new series.

Hi Kari,
First, thanks for sharing the video and helping us celebrate the 2009 Fellowship announcement!
I look forward to reading up on your Social Citizen Sightings... it's a great idea! And please send them our way in September for the 2010 EG application!
