" Becoming a Millennium fellow is an opportunity of a lifetime. Getting this chance to expand and multiply the effect of my passion is simply more than I dreamt of.
I started making a difference because being I just couldn't watch my community suffer diseases that could have been prevented with just one step.
Good health and wellbeing is a priority to not just the UN but to me as well. "
