Millennium Fellowship Project: Health city
This project is going to be a series of online and offline campaigns to educate students about proper nutrition and proper sleep routine. I have noticed that many of my classmates survive on junks and noodles. Not just that but the others who eat a " proper diet, "eat mostly rice and our traditional dishes which focus mainly on the carbohydrate food group. Many are of the believe that "all food is good food" and need to be educated on proper nutrition. I have also noticed a trend of sleep deprivation in my school. Sleep deprivation has now become a thing to celebrate among students who are ignorant to the disadvantages of of a bad sleep schedule and it's effects the brain.
