It was suprising to me the way that fellows were chosen by the organization to be sponsored. I didnt realize in the beginning of the reading that there would be so many applicants and that the selection process is so specific and fine tuned. The fact that there has to be an unanimous decision is suprising to me but a great way to weed out the truly dedicated people who are willing to put their whole lives into changing and helping a social issue in the world. One of the interesting parts of the reading for me was the personalities of the people who were chosen to be sponsored by Ashoka and this relates to some of the criteria of being chosen. The people were someone that the people of Ashoka could trust, someone who was willing to give credit to everyone who worked on the project. All in all the people who were chosen seemed to be downright good people. They were giving, honest and kind. They were trustworthy and they cared about people all around the world. After reading the chapters about Ashoka not only do i have a lot of respect for the organization itself but also the good people they choose to sponsor who are willing to give so much time and efforts to help people who are suffering around the world.
