" Increasing my social skills as a whole. I do what I do because it enables me to connect with the people and see things from a very different point of view. Millennium Fellowship will now be of a greater advantage to me because I believe that interaction with different Schools is what it's entirely involved in. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Living for a Purpose
So,I have been working on something for the past few months and it's really great. I've always told you of how I worry a lot about some issues which happen in our day to day life and it's like for once I'm seeing myself in a position where I can help a lot only if I get the right support needed I have this project where counseling is the major thing because, honestly speaking, many youths suffer depression due to the lack of the platform which they need to open up We do hikes, we eat together,we visit different organizations which have been built for the unfortunate Through this,there has been lots of breakthroughs. The only issue here I that I'm not in the position of making this something know county wise or let's say country wise It's a little bit tricky but motivating and I only hope that it works and that you'll support me in this. They do say that nothing starts for no reason and so, if there's any adjustments to be made then I'm ready for it provided that it's to the benefit of my organization. Youths ought to have a reason to live despite the circumstances
