I'm thrilled to share that I've been awarded the national Earth Educator Fellowship, an incredible opportunity where 21 individuals will be trained to become dedicated 'Earth Educators' through the Youth Conservation Action Network. Over the next year, I’ll immerse myself in this transformative program, culminating in a 'Passion Project' aimed at inspiring school students.
I’ve chosen to focus my project on fostering 'Ocean Literacy' among young people in India. This topic ignites my passion for the ocean and its vital role in our ecosystem. I believe that by engaging and educating the next generation, we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for our marine environment and empower them to become stewards of our planet. I'm here to learn, grow, and prepare for this journey into teaching, and I can’t wait to make a positive impact!
