*Apply for the 2011 TEDGlobal Fellows*
Have you ever watched a TED talk? If not, check out this inspiring video
of Dr. Hawa Abdi and her daughter Deqo Mohamed as they discuss their medical clinic in Somalia,
where -- in the face of civil war and open oppression of women -- they've
built a hospital, a school and a community of peace. Then, browse all the
amazing and inspirational talks they have about everything from street art
to global health.
TED, the nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, is
accepting submissions for the next round of TEDGlobal Fellows, seeking
candidates who demonstrate remarkable achievement in their field of
endeavor, focusing on individuals from five regions: Asia/Pacific, Africa,
the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East. The program focuses on

July 11-15, 2011, in Edinburgh, Scotland.* Deadline for submissions: March
11, 2011. *
