With the 26th of September marking World Rhino Day, it seemed fitting to chat to young entrepreneur and rhino-cause-crusader, Jenna Bischoff. Jenna, along with some help from her folks, has conceptualised a range of hand and body products, the proceeds of which are all donated to\u00a0uniteagainstpoaching.co.za<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jenna, tell us a bit about yourself…
\n<\/strong>Well, I am 10 years old and I am in grade 4 at Rustenburg Junior School. I do hockey, swimming, gymnastics and ballet. I love animals and my favourite is my dog, Nox, and my two guinea pigs \u2013 Charlie and Houdini. My favourite thing to eat is sushi and seafood. I like drawing, looking for things to make out of my art box and playing Lego.\"Jenna
\n<\/a>Most 10-year olds are into TV and games and things, so how did the plight of the rhino become something that you were interested in?
\n<\/strong>At school they taught us about what is happening to the rhinos and them using their horns for medicine. They would die from this and that really made me sad. I love animals and anything that is being extinct I would like to save.<\/p>\n

So how did you go from knowing that you wanted to do something to help, to actually doing it?<\/strong>
\nAbout a year ago we (my parents and I) spoke about doing something like this as I always gave my mom money to give to the rhinos and she suggested we create something we can actually sell. It was only after I drew the picture of the rhino that we realised what we can do with it. My mom asked her cousin if she could design a label using my picture. I loved it and chose the label I liked most. Then my dad brought me some perfume samples to choose from of which I liked the Rooibos fragrance the best. From there he developed the formulation for me as he owns a cosmetic and toiletry company that makes creams and soaps. And that\u2019s how jenna b came about.<\/p>\n

Did you have input into the choice of packaging and the design? <\/strong>
\nWe have a whole lot of packaging samples at home, because my mom and dad works in the industry so they packed it all out for me to choose the one I liked best. My dad then brought me a lot of perfume samples and I chose the Rooibos fragrance as my favourite. My mom\u2019s cousin designed the label and I could choose the one I liked best.\"Jenna<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you think you have a career as a young entrepreneur ahead of you?<\/strong>
\nYes, I maybe want to take over my dad\u2019s business one day or else I think I want to be a lawyer. I have learnt that it can be very stressful to have your own business, especially if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n

What has been the most exciting thing about this experience for you?<\/strong>
\nI loved smelling the samples and seeing how the design turned out. Most of all I am excited that if it succeeds then I can save the rhinos.<\/p>\n
