I'm excited to contribute meaningfully to the SDGs and grow through this global network of change makers. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: TRAVEL and LEARN
This is a project that target university students to travel and participate in scientific conferences for the aim of learning different things. I came up with this project in Tanzania as many university students lack external and new knowledge on different matter due to being learning in the same environment. The project will start with encouraging student to participate in conferences inside Tanzania and later outside starting from East Africa to gain new knowledge on how others in and out the country have that we don't. This will be beneficial as there will be meetings among the students to improve skills like public speaking as when attending the conferences we don't want to be always listeners but participate fully by giving points and asking questions. This project also will build leadership skills as in a group there will be leaders among us and lessons on how to be a good leader. Travel and learn is a project to open the mind university students on different matters like they would know what is going on in their field and be able to stand and give advice when they get a chance. Experiences obtained will build better future and open minded leaders.
