Jessamy Taylor

18 years old, Western Australia

I live north of Perth on a small rural property with my parents and my younger brother. I am blessed to have a supportive family, both immediate and extended.

In 2009 I  graduated from Quinns Baptist College. This year I’m taking a gap year, devoting it to my involvement with World Vision, a bit of part time work, and also having some fun.

Next year I plan on studying Nursing, which I hope will open doors for me to assist either in Asia or Australia's North West community. My role-model for life is Jesus and I try to live by His instructions. 

I have been actively fundraising in the 40 Hour Famine since Year 7, however, it wasn't until I attended the Perth Global Leadership Convention in Year 10 that I really grasped the concept of World Vision and I needed to get on board.

So why have I been stirred?

Poverty is real and I’ve realised the people living in poverty are often not to blame for the circumstances they find themselves in. I am blessed to be born into a good family in a wealthy country. I have been given the resources and the education to make a difference and to help make poverty history. 

I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with the people at World Vision and to have the chance to inspire and stir the youth of WA!
