" "Diversity and Intercultural Awareness" drives my ambition to work with people in order to achieve a goal. Since I started Volunteerism about four years back, I have always seen Diversity and Intercultural Awareness as ambitious tools for progress. Considering how diversified the Millennium Fellowship is, I'm excited to join a group of change makers from differ backgrounds and cultural for the common good; creating impacts in our local communities. This opportunity will provide me a platform to work with other university students from my campus some of whom are from different disciplines,to teamup and provide solutions to problems affecting our community. This is more than a joy that I can't wait to get started. I'll also learn about their culture and how they see universal issues like gender equality and climate change. "
