" Tom Peters once said," If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade."
The Millennium Fellowship is a unique opening for so many areas of growth especially because it enhances global interaction.
I'm excited to be working with the other individuals in my cohort because its an opportunity to learn from others as I improve on myself in different areas like teamwork, social skills that are essential in the vast areas of life.
I'm looking forward to the growth, the learning experiences and the chance to interact with like minded individuals on a global scale. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: MpaMpe
MpaMpe is an indigenous Ugandan word meaning, give me I give out. Created to solve the challenge of reduced access to quality education due to financial constraints and health affecting challenges among university students.
