" It was painful looking at many young children wasting away by Drug Abuse and lack of interest in educating the young child in my community, these has become my driving force. I believe individuals can make a major impact if they are guided by leadership. The skill and trainings from Millennium Fellowship will help greatly improve my social impact skills. I am excited that I am going to meet with other Fellows to learn from and share uncommon ideas. "
