" When I was growing up, I yearned to be part of a community that had a big heart and wanted to improve the world, making society a better place. A driving force behind my passion is to help young minds gain the right orientation about life and well-being and provide them with the best support I can. I've been using my savings and finding little ways to pursue this passion. Being selected for the Millennium Fellowship class is an added advantage that will help me improve, and I am truly grateful to the United Nations Academics for this opportunity. "
