" When I see that positive change is truly possible to achieve, it never ceases to inspire me to continue to do, what I do, for the place I call home. Now, I can do that with broader reach, and in further alignment with UNAI principles, and the United Nations’ SDGs as a Millennium Fellow. Witnessing the tangible impact we can have on our communities inspires me to continue pushing forward, knowing that together, we can create lasting, meaningful change–not only for the places we live in, but beyond that, for a better world. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Hastings: Millennium
Project Hastings: Millennium was originally a shorter-term initiative aimed at recalibrating key focuses and initiatives towards specific alignment with the United Nations SDGs, specifically SDG-1, to end poverty in all forms. Through the connection of changemakers across the world, and at home, Project Hastings: Millennium became an extended-roadmap project to drive change, novel projects, and collaborative, sustainable devleopment solutions for community challenges.
