" In a country like Brazil, poverty and inequality are things that you come across daily. Having these experiences from up close as I was growing up, I always wanted to do something about it. However, even though I have started projects that promoted gender equality and to help those in need, I believe that the Millennium Fellowship can help me bring my projects to the next level. I believe that this opportunity will encorporate new leadership and creative skills into my ideas, helping me reach even more people. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Solidarity Winter
Solidarity Winter is a project led by Millennium Fellow Daniella Bastos with the goal of not only keeping people warm during the winter, but repurposing clothes that would have ended up in the trash. From August to December, the goals that I hope to accomplish are to first connect with a local charity that takes clothing donations for those in need. Then, during this four month period, I want to spread awareness to my community, on campus and on social media, to collect enough clothes to keep hundreds warm and healthy during the cold weather.
