" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with passionate individuals from around the world and work on impactful projects. By combining our diverse perspectives and skills, I believe we can create meaningful change and address some of the most pressing global challenges. My drive comes from a deep commitment to making a difference, especially in my home country, and this fellowship is a perfect platform to turn that commitment into action. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Rising Education In Afghanistan

I have been working with the OEWC (Online English Writing Course) for over a year as a volunteer mentor and supervisor. During this time, I supported participants by guiding them through course materials, providing feedback on their writing, and helping them improve their skills. From August to December, I took on the role of Project Manager, overseeing the entire project, and ensuring everything ran smoothly and efficiently. I was responsible for planning weekly sessions, coordinating with mentors, managing deadlines, and keeping track of participants' progress. I also worked closely with the team to address any challenges and create an engaging and supportive learning environment for everyone involved.
