" "Nothing changes if nothing changes".
Change is the only constant, that how life is supposed to be lived, otherwise there is no life. By Millennium Fellowship I will be able to learn and outgrow my old self, gain new understand and perspective about the world which might help me be an agent of change in the world.
Another quote that resonates with me is" Apna lia to sab hi jeeta hai is jahan mai hai zindagi ka maqsat oron ka kam aana" Its actually urdu poetry which says that, everyone in life lives for themselves but the actual value of life is in living for and serving others. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainable Plates
Sustainable plates is a group project led by six Millennium fellows ; Shanzay Shakoori, Amna Rehan, Amber Zahra , Minahil Rehaman , Hira kanwal and Saffa Amjad. This project tackles the food insecure regions in Pakistan. The project aims to create a broader impact by collaborating with multiple food providing organizations. Our project will focus on three key dimensions: raising awareness through sessions with university students about healthy and balanced diets, collaborating with local organizations to mitigate food wastage in our community, and conducting research on the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Pakistan, along with exploring potential alternatives for sustainable agricultural practices.
