" I am very interested in empowering children with autism. Autistic children have so much creativity, and with the right mentorship, resources, and effort, they will do much more than the world has ever expected them to do. My beloved ones believed in my dreams and aspirations. Thus, I want to be that person who believes in the dreams and talents of these children. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Beyond Boundaries
"Beyond Boundaries" is a project that aims in helping High-school students in choosing the career major that suits their desired lifestyle, skills, and values. We planned on implementing after-school workshops for high schoolers that provide mental health awareness sessions, career guidance, and self-determination skills. This project aimed to enhance the teaching and learning quality in Lebanese schools. There will be direct interactions with the students during the 2 months of implementing the project through workshops that could provide better communication and leadership skills and the ability to adapt to the complex changes happening in Lebanon. This initiative will influence the community by decreasing dropout rates, fulfilling students' aspirations, and opening new perspectives. We wanted to target one specific school and work with them.
