" I'm excited to become a Millennium Fellow because it’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded people, amplify my impact in healthcare, and turn my ideas into tangible projects that truly make a difference in my community, especially in areas pertaining to both its physical and mental wellbeing. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: The mindfulness movement

The mindfulness movement is a project that is dedicated to informing students and by extension the general population about the importance of mental health prioritization. The project focused on conducting an awareness campaign on campus, informing people about mental health, why it's important, how to identify people that are struggling with it, how to take care of your mental health and where to seek help. The project also promotes a domino effect in which the people that we were able to reach reach other people by extension for example by practicing some of the things that we spoke about during our awareness campaigns. We also distributed some informative flyers that contained all the information that we spoke about during our awareness campaign. We tried our best to distribute these flyers to people who are not available during their awareness campaign, and people in our universities teaching hospital also aiming to reach other people who may have come across these flyers The last and a very important part of the project was collaborating with our school students union governments and a well-known organization on our campus to make sure that this awareness campaign is made a regular thing throughout all administrations.
