Youngest member of NSRI wants to give back to Station 23

Meet Jané Botha, a 17-year-old dynamo with the heart of a lion and the spirit of a true hero.

She’s not just your average teenager; she’s the youngest member of the Station 23 Wilderness NSRI volunteer rescue crew, fearlessly navigating the waters to save lives.

But Jané is not stopping there, because on the 21st and 22nd of October, from the crack of dawn at 06:00 to the night’s embrace at 18:00, she’s taking on a challenge that will leave you in awe.

Picture this: a 24-hour swim, not in just any pool, but in the waters of determination at the Glenwood House swimming pool. Why, you ask? Because she believes in the power of giving back, and for her, that means supporting the incredible work of the NSRI.

“I’m diving into this 24-hour swim to raise funds for NSRI, an organization that has transformed my life,” Jané explains with a fire in her eyes. “A year and a half ago, I stepped into the world of Station 23 as a trainee crew member, not knowing that this decision would redefine my existence. NSRI became my sanctuary, my family away from home. I’ve forged unbreakable friendships and found mentors whose wisdom I cherish like gold.”

For Jané, NSRI is more than just an organization; it’s a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of unity. “I’ve learned the true meaning of teamwork and the strength we find in unity,” she says, her voice echoing with determination. “Every member of our crew brings unique skills to the table, and together, we are an unstoppable force. NSRI has taught me resilience, the art of collaboration, and the immeasurable value of community and service.”

And I am determined to contribute to this legacy.”
