Jessica promotes unity and harmony
The 20-year-old from Aspen Hills Nature Estate has been on a generous mission to promote unity and harmony in Johannesburg South communities.
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH – You may as well call her a young woman on a mission. Miss Earth South Africa contestant, Jessica Janse van Rensburg, recently inspired learners at Mondeor Community School to donate food to animals at the Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL) in Johannesburg, Regents Park.
The 20-year-old from Aspen Hills Nature Estate has been on a mission to promote unity and harmony in Johannesburg South communities. By the end of her campaign she will have completed a food garden or waste project with a primary school and planted 10 indigenous trees. She will also be taking part in the annual Miss Earth South Africa clean-ups. However, she plans to continue volunteering her time to doing good for others, especially for animals. Jessica, also owner of a number of pets, explained that this is something she will always do because of her love for animals.
“I have always had a passion for animals and I would love to see more people taking the initiative and spending time with animals at facilities like the AACL. I would be happy if I can be the person who helped educate people about the importance of giving because education is important to me; I want to be a teacher.” said Jessica, who is now a third year BA Fine Arts student at Wits.
The Miss Earth South Africa programme is focused on developing young women through the vehicle of environmental education.
