Giving back to the Foundation
Jaleel found purpose in life through the Graeme Dingle Foundation's programmes.
Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundationโs programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.
Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.
