" Networking, openness (to learning new things) and innovation are key things that drive me towards my dream. Millennium Fellowship is therefore the best route for my destination since through this fellowship, I will be able to connect with peers all around the world, learn a lot of things from the others as well as get motivated by other people's achievements to come up with great innovations. I am therefore so excited and grateful for being selected to this great platform which I'm assured of more greatness by the time I graduate from this fellowship. I am so expectant and enthusiastic to learn the best things from the best team "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Empowerment Project
The project was set to encourage students in secondary schools in our community to remind them of the value of education, but also motivate them to continue pursuing their studies. We would give them tips on how to succeed in school, but also given them direction on their road to further studies.
