" To win the fight to restore health, dignity, and functioning. Improving people's lives and giving them the chance to be their best." Being a Millennium Fellow has been one of the best part of my life. I had the dream to impact underserved populations' lives and help in winning the fight to enhance accessibility to standard healthcare system but I didn't have a clear structure of how to do that. However, getting accepted to the Millennium Fellowship truly opened my eyes and equipped me with the knowledge and skills I need to be a change-maker and a true leader wherever I find myself. From the enlightening global webinars to the training sessions on my campus and the networking sessions with other passionate individuals around the world, I would say it's one of the best experiences that enables young people to be a change-maker.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Rehab for All
Rehab For All- This is the name I come up with for the project I have in mind on helping individuals, especially children on how they can recover from health challenges through rehabilitation and also to study the interconnection among mental health, background and clinical disorders.
