" I am excited to be a millennium fellow because I know that the plans I have in mind are great and there is only so much one person standing alone can do. I believe that will the resources that may be availed to me including but not limited to words of wisdom, training courses and financial help I would be sooner able to put these plans into action. In addition, I am aware that environmental factors and experience can shape our imagination and way of thinking, therefore I am excited to exachange experience and ideas with my fellows. I believe together we can fine tune any rough idea to produce something achievable and sustainable. "

About the Millennium Fellow
Kwagala Ion Miriam is a hardworking, determined electrical engineering student at Makerere University, Uganda. Born and raised in Africa, the occasionally nothing short of malicious treatment some minorities birthed a heart of comapssion that only grew with each hapless tale from within and without Africa. Through the tireless efforts of her mother to instil the Christian faith, the vision to see a new world where everyone dealt with others out of love as expressed in the book of first Corinthians and not out of envy, anger and for self-gratification formed, " To not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
