Recently something occurred that caught me by surprise and caused me to rethink my whole being. I saw me and my connection to something much bigger. It became perfectly clear what I needed to do and how I was going to do it.

For some time I have struggled....struggled with being overweight and eating for all the wrong reasons. As part of my personal battles with weight and food, my awareness has been heightened that starvation and hunger still exisits in so many parts of our world. 

This is difficult to imagine when I live in a country where food is widely accessible and in abundance.

I imagined my life WITHOUT binge eating, WITHOUT eating out of habit, WITHOUT eating because I'm bored, WITHOUT eating for entertainment, WITHOUT emotional eating and WITHOUT abusing the privillege of living with an abundance of accessible and affordable food choices.

I have been lucky enough to be accepted to the 2018 Business Chicks Immersion and Leadership Program. In February 2018 I will be travelling to Senegal, Africa with the other program participants and partaking in a once in a lifetime experience. - women helping women in the most beautiful and transformative way.

The Business Chicks Immersion and Leadership Program work together with The Hunger Project by mentoring and supporting women in starving communities across the globe to unlock their capacity, creativity and leadership - so they can end their own hunger. But the Program needs support and donations to undertake their valuable work.

And so this crazy idea was born and I created this Pozible campaign 'What are you REALLY hungry for???' 

I pledge to shed at least 20 kilos by the end of 2017. I kicked off my pledge 1 August 2017. 

I am not just loosing the weight for me, I am loosing the weight for a much greater purpose. 

My goal is to raise $3000 which will be put directly to The Hunger Project and the 2018 Senegal Program. 

NOTE --Your sponsorship will not be deducted from your account unless the greater target of $3,000 is reached overall.

I am PERSONALLY paying for my own airfare and accomodation during this Leadership Immersion Trip. All money raised and donated will go directly to The Hunger Project and the 2018 Senegal Program.

NOTE - Click once you have sponsored to join Rochelle's closed group on facebook What Are You REALLY Hungry For???

Money raised will be used by The Hunger Project and Business Chicks in their 2018 Immersion and Leadership Program in Senegal Africa. All participants pay for their own flights, accommodation, meals, visas and transfers so all funds raised go directly to the Program and the women of Senegal to help them unlock their potential and come to understand they are the key to ending poverty and hunger for their communities.
