" An unknown person once said, "Actions speak louder than words." This sentiment forms the foundation of my enthusiasm. Many individuals, both natural and artificial, often discuss their desire to create change. However, I believe that to be a true change-maker, one must act rather than merely speak. Being part of the fellowship will provide me with the opportunity to engage with other fellows, leaders, and philanthropists who share similar or even different perspectives. This exposure will help me grow and improve, while also advancing my SDG, which SDG4 and also further SDG 17, which promotes partnerships for achieving all goals. "
