Handbag initiative for the Jes Foord Foundation

Posted on July 28, 2011

"The Jes Foord Foundation helps survivors of any form of abuse and rape. I feel I can relate to them because of what I have been through. I want to take my negative experience and turn it into something positive for other survivors. I want to educate people and help them to realise that you can have life after a rape." - Jessica Foord -

GIBS handed over completed handbags and backpacks to Alta Mcmaster, Jes Foord Foundation Director for Gauteng, at a gathering on campus yesterday. Many contributed to this life changing initiative and were touched by the hope and message that Jessica Foord is spreading to people everywhere.
