A Lovemark of great aspiration
Jackie Calder, the founder of 'Wish for Rwanda' is a cancer survivor who encountered survivors of the Rwandan genocide on a study tour to the 'Land of a Thousand Hills' in March 2009. Captivated by the 'Village of Hope' set up by Nicholas Hitimana, the founder of 'Ikirezi Natural Products', an established Lovemark, Jackie determined to raise funds to build and fund a health centre for the Ikirezi widows and orphans and the wider community. On the flight back from Kigali, Jackie shared her dream with a 'dot com millionaire' who was so taken by her passion and obvious competance that he committed to match whatever she raised! Jackie's professionalism as an events organiser is well established in Scotland and her fundraising efforts for breast cancer have a great track record. Jackie's dream is to raise £1million, £1 for every life lost in 100 bloody days in 1994. I see this as a Lovemark of great aspiration.
