" My passion for promoting good health and quality education, especially in the fight against drug addiction, has shaped both my studies in pharmacy and my community outreach efforts. Being selected as a Millennium Fellow excites me because it offers a platform to amplify my impact through collaboration, mentorship, and global perspectives. I believe that by connecting with dedicated peers and gaining practical skills, I can create sustainable initiatives that not only address immediate health challenges but also empower young people to make informed choices, aligning my work with the SDGs and the UNAI principles. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Unplug and Peculiar
The goal is to create awareness, provide guidance, and offer positive alternatives through the Unplug and Peculiar MCN initiative. These young people often face stress, academic pressure, social influence, and misinformation, making them a crucial group to reach with early prevention.
During the Millennium Fellowship period, the Unplug and Peculiar MCN project successfully amplified awareness about drug abuse prevention and mental wellness among young people.
Accomplishments:
Created impactful awareness posts, including visual content promoting the message “Say No to Drug Abuse.”
* Reached young audiences through social media engagement and in-person discussions.
* Sparked open conversations about peer pressure, mental health, and responsible decision-making.
* Strengthened the message of self-awareness and self-protection
