    Hi! I applied for this internship in January and am very interested in it. I didn’t receive any kind of confirmation, however, saying that my application was received or complete, so I was wondering if there is a way to check on it’s status.
    Thanks so much!

    Hello everyone! I have applied for this UNICEF internship programme 2008, but unfortunately up until this moment I didn’t receive any information about my candidacy. As far as I remembered, it said on the ads, that the final selection would take place no longer than 31 March 2008. Any advice on this matter? To find out about the application status? Thank you.
