Jasmin is the CEO of Instant Aid, a humanitarian organisation who through has saved hundreds and thousands of lives in war torn countries. This incredibly articulate inspiring lady has found a purpose to help children and their mothers who have no food, no home and have lost hope following the bombardment of power obsessed world leaders.

Jasmin 's mother brought this bright, ambitious and caring young girl to multiple protests throughout her childhood. This sparked an activist mindset in young Jasmin who had a dream was to become a war journalist and share stories from around the world of those whose lives were devastated by wars. To show us what we don't typically see.

This story highlights the importance for us all to never give up and lose hope no matter how devastating the situation. The unimaginable world in Gaza destroyed as a result of an Israeli war criminal and his psycho government who are driven by hate and greed, is the reason why Instant Aid exists.
