" This world inspires me. A coin with two sides: one holds the greedy, the envious, the criminals and the bystanders; the other holds those who seek peace, feed the poor, shelter the homeless and don't wait for others to make a change. I want to be a part of the second. This is why I initiate little projects, engage in meaningful conversations and start with small actions. I look forward to being a Millennium Fellow as I see great resources within this program. I would like to make the best use of the great mentors I'll be guided by and meet like-minded individuals who would like to make a change. Lastly, this program will greatly enhance my profile and pave a greater future for me. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Consciouscycle

Consciouscycle aims to encourage people to practice sustainable waste management within the UAE. We raise awareness of the importance of waste segregation. Rewarding our community as they change their lifestyle to be more sustainable goes a long way.
