Wish young woman would take the TSS warnings seriously, when I was 27 I myself had issues with it and was only by the Grace of God I did not end up in worse trouble than I did! Girls , sometimes the convience is not worth the risk!

Although, I appreciate the media's attention I am not always confident of their ability to be unbiased, pick relevant content for their specific readership or post full and accurate responses. Therefore, I have chosen to post my reply to Fashion Wrap Up here so that all my friends and family can read the full content.

My official response is that the allegations of finanacial misconduct are false. GRI can account for donations received and all of them were spent on legitimate GRI operations, such as housing, supplies, teacher salaries, etc.

I closed the organization after evidence was brought to my attention by a non U.S. resident that they had been donating money to one of the Ugandan teachers. He stated that he was solicited on behalf of GRI, but we were unable to isolate that the funds from this new donor were used for GRI. This teacher was an integrial part of operation during my abscene from the country and I will not support the scamming of donors in my absence.

To any allegations that there is still funding left within GRI they are false. The organization never operated a month of postive cash flow without my personal financial commitment.

Our fears were they would mess with her rent ,due to Mzungu's . One of our new people said , I own my house , u can come here to my house . She is Rwandan. So tomorrow we go to ck it out ! Jessica heads out on Wednesday for a new adventure so we will miss her but know it is a very good thing!
