" I see being part of the Millennium Fellowship as a chance to make an impactful change in the world. Being a part of such an energetic and enthusiastic environment, which discusses and addresses issues that the world turns a blind eye to by asking tough questions, would help me develop my critical thinking and discourse skills. In addition to this, it would help me explore the different ways one can contribute to social change. It would help me to be proactive, by aiding in transmitting mere ideas into action and helping me take leaps. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Moment of Calm Initiative
A few years ago, I became a part of the Sadhu Vaswani organisation which started the Moment of Calm initiative. The Moment of Calm is a peace initiative that aims at bringing calm in the hearts of people through the power of forgiveness and love. It raises awareness about the importance of a peaceful mind and strives to help people achieve that.
