Celebrating a decade of Jes Foord’s journey
With Jes' message the foundation was able to reach the hearts of many young sportsmen in these schools who opted to wear green shorts to show their support for the foundation and what it stands for.
THE Jes Foord Foundation (JFF) will honour Jes’ journey by hosting a family fun day to thank its community, family and friends for all their help and support throughout the first decade, on Sunday, 25 March at WavePark Gateway.
The foundation is rooted in the personal journey of Jes Foord and her horrific gang rape by four men, in 2008.
As part of her healing process, she chose not to be another rape victim, but rather a survivor, and learned to become a spokesperson campaigning on behalf of women and children who had gone through similar harrowing experiences.
The Counselling Centre provides need-specific counselling services for the community of Marianridge as well as nine other surrounding communities – working hand in hand with SAPS and the volunteers of The Victim Friendly Room.
The last 10 years they have reached more than 370 000 people with their awareness programme in schools across KZN, and have given almost 3 000 hours of free trauma counselling to rape survivors and their families.
All ages allowed.
No food or beverages are allowed into the park, but you are welcome to bring swimming costumes, blankets and chairs.
