Help The Jes Foord Foundation raise R5,000 for Awareness Talk

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

We are looking for Sponsorship of Awareness Talks for underprivileged schools in our area. JFF Awareness Talks is an initiative of the Jes Foord Foundation designed to KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE by making them aware of the dangers we face in our society. We’ve heard a lot of parents say “it won’t happen to my child”, but rape and sexual assault is an unfortunate reality that happens every 29 seconds in South Africa. Our talks are AWARENESS-based and focused around CONSENT, educating young learners that they can use their voices as a tool of self defense. They teach them about good touch VS. bad touch, NO means NO and sets the record straight on ‘stranger danger’. All of our talks are AGE-APPROPRIATE, inclusive and delivered in both English and Zulu. Most of all, we encourage these young learners to identify FIVE people who they trust and who they can talk to about ANYTHING - no matter what anyone else says. Topics covered in each Awareness Talk: • Who am I? Knowing your rights • What is rape - understanding sexual assault • What is consent - good touch vs bad touch • Using your voice as a tool of verbal defense • No means No and boundaries • What to do if you are raped - procedures and medication • Symptoms of trauma / rape and the importance of counselling • Thuthuzela Centres and the facilities available to survivors
