Millennium Fellowship Project: Echoes of Self
The project i thought of doing it was based on SDG3 about health specifically mental health titled ECHOES OF SELF..i thought it as a target to help adolescents and youth because these age groups are faced with a lot of emotional and psychological crises..faced by echoes (repeating voices in their minds) that they are not worthy of living or not good enough..that's why i named it echoes of self..as i was thinking of the project i thought of it being a tool of advocacy to adolescents and youth on matters of mental health( how to face,conquer and deal with the silent echoes) because it all starts in the mind
