Women take centre stage at an inspired high tea and motivational talk, at Carnival City, in celebration of Women\u2019s Day this year.<\/p>\n
Dynamic speaker and founder of the Jes Foord Foundation, Jes Foord, will talk about the power of women while guests indulge in a spread of sumptuous treats.<\/p>
This 21-year-old woman survived being raped by four men and despite the horror of this ordeal, rose above it by creating something good from the bad which transpired in her life.<\/p>\n
Jes shares her experience and in a moving but very inspirational talk, speaks of the JFF (Jes Foord Foundation) which has established counselling rooms for women in Kloof, at St Augustine Hospital, Hammersdale and Marrian Hill.<\/p>
The purpose of the foundation is to empower rape survivors through education.<\/p>\n
Jes is not the only inspiring woman to be joined at Carnival City\u2019s Women\u2019s Day event.<\/p>\n
\u201c5FM\u2019s tenacious Nicole da Silva will be joining Jes, and we are thrilled to have these two impressive young women in our presence this Women\u2019s Day,\u201d said Michelle Smith, marketing manager for Carnival City.<\/p>\n
