" Being part of a group of individuals with the same drive and intent to do good while bringing your impact to life excites me. I believe this fellowship will allow me to reach out to more marginalised communities and help align them to the overall goal of sustainable development for the future. I am excited to interact and learn and provide a change to the world more aligned with the SDGs "
