Caitryn McCallum, a Junior at the University of Virginia, will join Beyond the 11th as a summer intern in the middle of May. We already have a list of projects we would like Caitryn to work on, including updating our website. Not only would we like a fresh new look, we are also hoping to reorganize the site and add some new sections. Caitryn will also be working on creating Beyond the 11th chapters on college campuses and will work with us on our next fundraising project.
This will be our first summer intern and we're excited to have her join our team.

About Me
- Susan
- MA, United States
- My husband, David, was killed on September 11th. At the time, we had two small children and I was pregnant with our third. Learning about the plight of widows in Afghanistan, I felt that I needed to reach out to them the way so many had reached out to me and my family. Decades of conflict and strife ravaged Afghanistan, leaving tens of thousands of women without husbands to provide for them, a cultural necessity in Afghanistan. In the fall of 2003, I co-founded Beyond the 11th. Our mission is to help provide financial and emotional support to Afghan widows and their children and to give them hope for a better future. Beyond the 11th’s grants are geared toward programs that help widows gain the skills necessary to generate their own income. We believe strongly that this is the best way to create lasting social change.
Wow lucky intern! It has been over a week that I watched Beyond Belief and I still think about you gals...alot! I hope all is going well. Wonderful work!
