One never knows how much troubles you have, until you see what someone else has been through. Recently, we were at our monthly Woman at Work function – we are their official photographers, and we get to photograph their events every month which they hold at different venues and where they have a different guest speaker every month. Recently, we listened to Jess Foord’s story – rape survivor from Kwazulu Natal, who was gang-raped by 4 men in 2008.

Yes has a lovely personality and, she really looks at peace with what has happened. After the ordeal she decided to take her story all over the country, and started the Jess Foord foundation, – a non-profit organization that helps many rape victims and they also do all in their power to prevent it from happening. She is such a lovely young woman who recently got married to her dream-guy, who understood her situation from day one.

Jess taught us, that no matter how far or hard you fall, there is always a way to get up, and it’s important to take such a step. If you take the time to look around, you’ll see the support and love around you, and know that somehow, you’ll definitely get through your hard situation.
