" "As a young intellectual in the healthcare industry, my mind is actively searching for the best approach to making a standout impact in my sector. Being a member of the Millennium Fellowship will sharpen me in ways I couldn't possibly imagine and impart to me the skills I need to make a noticeable difference forever" "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Sweeter, The Worse
Irrespective of an acceptance into the Millennium Fellowship, I aim to embark on an initiative this year called "The Sweeter, The Worse" which is primarily focused on spreading the awareness on the dangers of diabetes to various local communities around my area. This is mainly based on a concept I've been carefully considering on venturing into over the previous weeks just before I got news of the Fellowship. My project involves the planning, scheduling and execution of at-least 3-4 events at different centers in my area in the form of outreaches, gatherings, events and public addresses. As at now, despite the fact that I am but the sole contributor/manager of this project, I aim to focus on using most of late Q1 and Q2 to acquire investments as well as foster engagements for these events - events of which I desire to kickstart around June of this year.
