and communication skills which, when combined with my creativity and passion for helping others, will set me on the right path for my project goals. I'm also looking forward to

Millennium Fellowship Project: The Trash To Treasure Project
The Trash To Treasure Project is an initiative that seeks to simultaneously address environmental pollution and spread mental health awareness among the youth. By teaching them how to turn everyday trash into works of art, they learn the importances of recycling and they get to express themselves through art and crafts. This prompts them to actively engage in environmental conservation and art and crafts, which enhances their mental and environmental wellness.
