" For a slum kid who dreamed of becoming a local role model through servant
leadership, the Millennium Fellowship is the bridge to my aspirations. I do the work I do because there's something in me that refuses to settle for personal gain alone. I know why—I am destined to be a global leader, serving millions worldwide. This fellowship is just the first step towards that future. "
