" Every individual deserves an opportunity to thrive, yet for many, that chance never comes. I see the Millennium Fellowship as a stepping stone toward building sustainable solutions and uplifting communities through education and financial empowerment. The skills and training I gain will help me rediscover my potential and guide me in creating change where it's needed most. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Campus Keepers
Our college consists of a lot of migrant workers who work in a variety of fields like gardening, cleaning, security, food, etc. However, they are not the only migrants on campus, as many faculty members are also migrants. We observe a massive difference between how these people are treated and viewed by both the management and students. This creates a hierarchy of jobs. We would like to interview as many people as possible to understand the issue. It would help us analyze the extent and causes and come up with solutions. We want to make a difference in society by first making a difference in the society we live in.
