" Optimism, creativity as well as critical thinking are My uttermost artistic motives behind everything I do. My passion is to invest in the mental welfare of any child regardless of his/ her background or any abilities or disabilities. I believe that there is always a brighter future for every child as long as she/he is well taken care of. Being part of Millennium Fellowship will enhance these skills, as well as provide me with other new skills that will foster my social impact to be more realistic and aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGs.
