" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellows because I believe it is an incredible experience to get to know more young people who are passionate about making a concrete social impact. I look forward to listening to my fellows perspectives and concerns about the global crisis we are facing today, in the hope of expanding my own visions and open my eyes in matters that I don't see today. I still have a lot to learn in behalf of becoming a professional and learning to be a global leader, so this is the perfect opportunity to get started on my journey. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: EDUFIN
EDUFIN is an acronym stemming from "educacion financiera", which means finnancial education in spanish. The project's main objective is to tackle the lack of finnancial knowledge in the youth. This will be achieved by creating a web page that contains basic and useful finnancial knowledge by age group. This is for the initial stage of EDUFIN.
For the more long-terms goals of EDUFIN, we plan on expanding the possibilty of including senior citizens/elderly people, as well as giving proposals to the ministry of education to include financial education on the curriculum of school students, as well as spreading the importance of finnancial education to the public.
