Our Community
Jaime is one of the most inspirational people I know and have ever met, her heart and vision for our children and the children of the next generations to have a just, sustainable and thriving world is just amazing and heartfelt, a story and dream of complete selflessness. Jaime excels in all she does and gives nothing other than her all in everything. She has given and shown me hope, passion, and love. Turning my life around in a very short time and helped me to become a better person, being more fulfilled in myself and more accepting of others. Before I met Jaime I had never heard of climate change, therefore never knew what it was nor the importance of it, now I understand the issue and effects I am greatly appreciative of her knowledge, compassion and drive to make our planet a safe, happy and healthy one for all. Jaime is a remarkable person respected by all she encounters and is just such a humble and giving person. I have no doubt in my mind that we will see reduction and restoration to our planet/climate through all the work that Jaime has done and still continues to do, however she needs our support too, after all it is our planet and home too, Please help Jaime help our children and their children to have a better tomorrow either by donating to this amazing campaign, attending workshops or just spreading the word. Jaime is the leader we all need in our lives.
Jaime is a force of nature and an incredible facilitator. This is an opportunity to fund someone who will be a voice for the community. Jaime calls it like it is and will have the conversation about how we achieve what is necessary. Climate change is one of those critical issues. It’s critical we deal with it now. It’s not politically popular and the solutions are going to interrupt the status quo. I want to know that Jaime can keep having the conversations that will make a difference so i will be supporting Jaime in anyway i can and i hope you will too.
“The trend of my life was totally transformed when I first attended a symposium ran by Jaime back in 2010. It was this moment when I realised there is a much bigger vision and mission I have to deliver to my next generation. Since then I have known Jaime as a key player in standing up for what matters for all of us through different campaigns and events. This is up to us and it is our own responsibility to support her to make sure she can keep making a difference in our planet.” Gelareh
Having a supportive group of people around me gives me warmth and love. When they’re also working on creating our just and thriving world it brings me hope, inspiration, joy and comradarie. Here’s to backing our local heroes. Emma Jack
“I whole heartedly support Jaime in this crowd funding campaign and look forward to working with her in the coming year. We now know that Climate Change poses the biggest threat to Human Health this century. Our grandchildren and future generations are counting on our not turning away.” – Fiona Stanley
During my time with Jaime, she introduced me to ‘hope’ because I was once a person who didn’t believe in ‘myself’, or that things could change. Through working with her many of my views on life and the planet have shifted. I believe that the majority of people are ‘unaware’ of what’s actually going on and need to be educated about it. That is why we need more leaders like Jaime to continue to be the bridge for people to be educated on the topic. I trust the fact Jaime will take action and continue to be an amazing person. However, she also needs the support and help of others in doing so, I will do my best in supporting her. Looking into my future, I know that I would regret one day if I was to do nothing in contributing to the planet. That my children or grandchildren could possibly turn around and say to me “what did you do when the world was warming?” I want to know that the planet is in safe hands and my future children will have a safe home and that everybody did what they needed to do.” Ash Penfold
“Jaime doesn’t have time for inaction on climate change and neither should anyone concerned about their future or the future of their children. Help her remain focused on mobilising our community to tangible action by supporting this campaign. I have.” –Simon Bunstead, WA State Director, The Oaktree Foundation.
“It’s up 2 us is a fantastic initiative. I’ve known Jaime for about 8 years and I’ve been inspired by her level of passion and commitment for her community. She has a high level of personal accountability and I know she will deliver results. It’s a special kind of person who can bring together diverse groups of people for a common objective and we need that now more than ever to address climate change. We need strong leadership and vision to address these issues and Jaime has that in the bucketloads. I’m proud to be an ambassador of this project.” – Shona Bernard-Chandler (Business Woman)
“Jaime is a dedicated and inspiring individual who not only dedicated her life to fighting for her cause, but also effectively and lovingly engages others to create positive change in our society. Jaime’s aim is selfless and powerful- to create a safe, just, and sustainable planet for coming generations. Knowing that this includes my children and grandchildren, and yours, i can promise i have faith in every action Jaime takes in her campaign, to empower the world to fight climate change.” Melanie B
Jaime has been instrumental in two areas working with Seton Catholic College students. 1. In providing students with detailed information regarding climate change and more specifically in challenging students to develop habits regarding responsible use of resources and recycling. 2. Providing a social justice forum whereby students have explored cultural diversity and indeed developed an understanding of our own indigenous people and their culture. This input has been invaluable in broadening the students’ knowledge base.
I have had the priviledge of working with Jaime on social justice issues through drama that culminated in her and myself living and working with the Youth in Nairobi Kenya to attend World Social Forum in 2007. In Australia Jaime and I have also facilitated workshops for refugees, migrants, teachers of independent schools in the Kimberleys WA. Throughout this time Jaime has showed unparalled committment to social justice. I believe that the experience she has gathered as a social justice campaigner make her very effective climate change conservationalist Therefore Jaime has the ability to localize and make real the conversation about climate change amongst us, in supporting her with this mission I know that she will continue having this important conversations that will ultimately swell the ranks of climate defenders. Yes it is up to you and me to support Jaime to support our planet.
The Up 2 Us campaign is a great opportunity for the community to have its own champion, fighting for action on climate change in the community and political arenas. Jaime represents an independent voice and one which will be heard, on behalf of her community and for future generations.
“Since I’ve turned 50 I’ve become acutely aware of the Climate Change challenges facing our planet Earth. The exponential expansion of the human race and its growing carbon foot-print has huge implications for future generations. The unmitigated expansion of fossil fuel production and use is dangerous to our health and our climate. It is therefore critical we collaborate as a community and work with industry and policy makers to transition to a low carbon society. Jaime is a passionate and motivated person who is well placed to increase the effectiveness of the Climate movement here in WA. She has the courage and willingness to say what needs to be said and bring people together for a common objective. I wish her every success and am proud to be a part of her initiatives in this arena”. Norman – businessman, Climate Reality Presenter
