" Innovation and commitment are two words I would use to describe how I work on my personal projects. I believe that innovation per se is fuelled when there is room for collaboration and exchange of ideas, which is why being a part of the Millennium Fellowship is so appealing to me. Furthermore, by interacting with others, both peers and professionals, you observe the motivation behind each person’s work, and get to feel inspired by their commitment and passion on specific topics. I love that through Millennium Fellowship I get to experience this first-hand. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: A Friendly Hand

A Friendly Hand is an intuitive app designed to give seniors the ability to request on-demand help for a number of different daily activities. Seniors would pay a small subscription fee in exchange for the services that volunteers may offer. Individuals would volunteer because they would receive certification and work experience as well as the fact that it would not be too much of an inconvenience since all they would do is when for example they're going to go shopping, they might take the chance to help an elder on the way.
