" Food is one of the basic life necessity that assists humans in opening their eyes to a new sun everyday. And there are also such people on mother earth who waste as much food that can feed all the needy ones. So I believe Millennium Fellowship will make to able to build network so that I could raise awareness and do practical work by avoiding food wastage and that food could become available to the needy. I highly believe that Millennium Fellowship will teach me how can I make social imapct , how to work and behave with a group of people and some leadership skills too. "
