" I am deeply passionate about empowering the girl child, not just as an ideal, but as a personal mission. I believe that every girl holds limitless potential; talents, ideas, and strengths waiting to be discovere; and with the right guidance, resources, and opportunities, she can surpass even the loftiest expectations the world places before her. Too often, societal limitations and stereotypes dim the light of young girls before it has the chance to shine. I want to be part of the force that changes that narrative. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: All Hands Project
The All hands projects is an initiative that aims at educating the general public on recognizing and responding to basic medical emergencies. We aim to host 1-2 training sessions with the general public on basic life support skills from August to December.
As of November 15th, 2025, the All Hands Project has been to 3 institutions so far; two junior high schools and one senior high school. In the senior high school, a group of 210 SHS 2 Science students were taught how and when to initiate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), how to respond in a choking emergency, and how to manage severe bleeding. In the junior high schools, a total of 410 JHS 1, 2 and 3 students from the two schools were also taught how to recognize emergencies, how to administer CPR, how to respond in a choking emergency, and how to stop active bleeding.
