" Born in Brazil and raised in Singapore, my experiences have taught me how invaluable access to opportunity truly is. The person I am today is a culmination of other's strength, resilience, and belief in my potential as a young girl. I want to use the opportunity given to me to amplify the youthful voices of those often unheard. The Millennium Fellowship empowers me to work towards a world where everyone has equal access to resources and opportunities to fulfill their own potential. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Deux Mains Vers Demain
At Deux Mains Vers Demain, we believe that all young people deserve the same chances to develop their aspirations for the future. We also recognize that, in our city of Le Havre, France, we are part of a community of students, families, schools, and nonprofits already working to equalize opportunities for underprivileged youth. Through Deux Mains Vers Demain, we use our skills and university connections to uplift the work of local organizations that serve young people in precarious economic or social conditions. Our mission is to empower youth to discover and pursue their passions and become social impact leaders in their own right.
About the Millennium Fellow
Laura Janini Dohmen is a Political Science, Economics and Sociology undergraduate student at the Institut d'etudes politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) in Le Havre, France. She was born and raised in Brazil, and later moved to Singapore where she would spend the next 12 years immersed in a multicultural environment. Laura has always been passionate about social justice for marginalised groups, and how the individual can have an impact on the world around them through social and political actions. This core belief has manifested through Laura's extensive dedication to community action and strive to widen her global perspective. She has successfully participated and organised numerous philantropic projects - both within her smaller communities, and through different NGOs worldwide - which she aspires to integrate into her professional career in the future.
