" The desire to become a Millennium Fellow is justified by my expectations to connect, learn from, and discover outstanding talents through this program. I believe that being part of the Millennium Fellowship program promises to add more value to my experience and competencies.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Soma Initiative Project
The Soma Initiative project envisions a society where every child can access education. The Soma Initiative focuses on less privileged populations' financial barriers to education. The principal objective is to provide struggling students with the necessities they need to fulfill their educational aspirations. We identified that in our home countries, many families struggle to keep up with supporting their children in school. Therefore, we put our hands together to help those in need.
