" Being a Millennium Fellow is a dream come true due to the fact that Millennium Fellowship gives the best platform to actually reach out to more people. Millennium Fellowship gives me a platform to make people realize that they can always get better and that there is hope once they are still alive. Millennium Fellowship preaches all that i value as a person. Giving back to the society and one's immediate environment no matter how little is the real definition of wealth. Being a part of Millennium Fellowship gives me that consciousness and perfect environment to be relevant to the people in need of help. "
