UNITED NATIONS ACADEMIC IMPACT AND MCN PROUDLY PRESENT GOPIKA K NAIR, A MILLENNIUM FELLOW FOR THE CLASS OF 2023. O.P. Jindal Global University | Sonipat, India | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 2 Millennium Fellowship Project: Khwaab Khwaab (Dream) is a project we have undertaken to encourage children to dream for themselves and recognize their attainability. Our focus group is children from the 8th grade at Government Model Sanskriti Primary and Middle School, Model Town, Sonipat. We wish to work with young students who lack the foundational support to cultivate their ability to fulfill their aspirations. We will be conducting 6 sessions pertaining to their capacity building. Providing them with a thorough education will facilitate the children's individual development and enable them to uplift their familial circumstances and influence those in their vicinity. The word 'Khwaab' means 'Dream'. A dream is a goal, a vision of the future self. When one knows their destination, it becomes easier to find their path. But when the destination is unknown, when there is no dream to chase, the path becomes unclear and one gets lost. This journey includes acquiring skills, crossing milestones, honing one's strengths, gathering the required resources, and drawing a roadmap to fulfill the dream. An understanding of the roadmap can pave the way to a successful future. We aim to organize a life skills training program encompassing goal setting, decision-making, problem-solving, self-awareness, time management, and financial management. This holistic training is designed to empower young minds in fulfilling their 'Khwaab'.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Displaced Dispatch My project will connect people that are being forcefully displaced from their homes in various countries to people of the same nationality/ that speak the same language at Penn. Through this initiation concerned students and faculty at all schools of Penn (Undergraduates, Graduates) will be able to connect with either struggling parents or children and provide them with support in one of three ways. Specifically, students and faculty can volunteer through the dispatch by providing either mental health support, financial/emergency planning support, or academic support to children in various age groups. Mental health assistance during trying times is of utmost concern especially for adults, specifically women who have seen and suffered violence, abuse, and persecutions. For adults, students and faculty at Penn can assist them in what the best steps forward are in regards to finances and opportunities/ways to support their family during trying times. Providing children a somewhat steady education during the unknown time period of displacement is one that is imperative for their development and future. A curriculum that is on par with what they would have been learning in school is vital to continue a bit of normalcy during their struggling times.

We will also provide these communities/areas with sanitary products, specifically waste bins and bags to avoid careless dumping refuse and other wastes. My role as the Babcock University Coordinator/Head of the Standing Committee on Environmental Protection Activities of the Nigerian Medical Students Association (SCOEPA) gives me the opportunity to organize online webinars, and physical programs to talk to people about environmental protection and its dangers.

Recognizing the alarming prevalence of automedication and its detrimental consequences among the population of his village Bafanji, Pechiambaih embarked on a mission to educate and empower the community on the importance of proper medication practices. With a vision to bring about positive change and improve the healthcare outcomes of Bafanji village, Pechiambaih's project aimed at raising awareness about the risks and potential dangers associated with automedication. By addressing this critical issue head-on, he sought to equip the community with the necessary knowledge and tools to make informed decisions regarding their health. Pechiambaih's journey as a Millennium Fellow began in August 2023, when he was admitted into this prestigious program. Fueled by his passion for healthcare and a deep sense of responsibility towards the well-being of community Bafanji, he immediately set to work on developing and implementing his project. Integrating his initiative with the 2023 health fair organized by the Fanji Medical Minds association in Bafanji, Pechiambaih leveraged this platform to maximize the reach and impact of his project. Over the course of five days, alongside other dedicated members of the association, he conducted comprehensive health education sessions specifically focused on automedication and its consequences. Through these interactive sessions, Pechiambaih and his team engaged directly with the community, providing them with valuable insights into the potential risks associated with self-medication practices. They emphasized the importance of seeking professional medical advice, proper diagnoses, and prescriptions from qualified healthcare practitioners. Additionally, they highlighted the potential dangers of incorrect dosages, adverse drug interactions, and the potential for delayed or improper treatment. Pechiambaih's project went beyond simply highlighting the risks of automedication. He also aimed to empower the community by sharing information on alternative healthcare resources available to them, such as local clinics, pharmacies, and trained healthcare professionals. By fostering a sense of trust and encouraging open communication, Pechiambaih and his team hoped to create a supportive environment where community members felt comfortable seeking professional medical advice and adhering to prescribed treatments.
