" Advocacy involves bridging gaps and lending solutions to the affected. I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because with like-minded team members, my dream of advocating for quality education and healthcare will be possible. With sound health and education, most of the challenges facing our society will be a thing of the past. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The DreamGirl Project
The DreamGirl Project was aimed at reaching out to girls in 4 secondary schools in my local community to talk to them about career choices, self development, menstrual hygiene, reproductive health as well as self breast examination to detect changes in breast contour to make the breast cancer awareness month. We were accompanied by the President of the Medical Women Association of Nigeria, Akwa Ibom State Branch as well as the Welfare Chairman of the association.
