About

My name is Jennah-Louise.

The longing, specifically a yearning desire, has captivated me from a young age to help those in unnecessary poverty amongst a world of wealth. Memories of restless nights being alleviated by the submission to the writing of inspiring humanitarians were replaced by personal volunteering both internationally and domestically. Essentially, I indeed was someone whom put thought into action.

Through these experiences I learnt what it meant to feel genuinely frustrated, hurt and indeed happy. I felt the aching of helplessness and I witnessed what the true meaning is of both human courage and strength.

My heart was captured in Kenya and there it remains. I have volunteered twice in the country, both times travelling there by myself with a mission to see, first hand, the consequences of ignorance and the productivity of being enlightened.

I have made a long term commitment to ICROSS (currently a board member) and particularly to a specific Masaii women’s group in the remote area of Ilkilorit. I listened to their aching needs, their desperation and their hope. I received a traditional beaded bracelet from each and everyone of those women, forming a lasting bond and a promise to myself that I shall do what I can to alleviate their families and their own starvation and suffering.

I have chosen to call my commitment to these women, the BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS CAMPAIGN. Because these three words are what essentially epitomise their everyday life. Walking hours, sometimes even days, to receive food, water and medical assistance.

I will be participating in various events and general challenges to fundraise $3,500. I participated in the Search4Hurt's 'Hurt Camp' involving 8 x 55minute hard training sessions and on December 11 2015, the Commando Tough 24 hour, where I will be for a straight 24 hours experiencing: no food, no sleep, physical and mental challenges that are taken from Commando Selection.

Please take the time to watch the ICROSS youtube video.
'This is about people power. It is about us saying no to suffering. No to hunger. No to corruption. No to bullshit. No to cruelty. No to children not eating, because we don’t care. It is about us caring, and that is why we need you. ‘
-Dr. Mike Meegan, ICROSS founder and dear friend

I thank you for your support and your selflessness. Love to you xx

It isn't much but it all helps. It's easy for me to donate but it takes great people to share the awareness and put in the time you have! Good stuff and keep it coming!
