" I am so excited to be part of the Millennium Fellowship because it is a great opportunity for me to learn and work with diverse groups of people - people from different backgrounds and to make an impact in the African Community. I also like the fact that I will be working with like minded young leaders who are passionate about making an impact through service to others by advancing Sustainable Development Goals . I believe that with good health and well - being the world would be a better place. Health is wealth, people can't live a fulfilled life without good health. To this end,I have made a commitment to give whatever it takes to promote good health and well - being. "
