The Program
What is fear? Watch the video below to know more.
The Fearless Factor is dedicated to the idea that we all have fears, self-doubt and anxiety, and we can all overcome it. By making right choices and right decisions that allow you to move beyond the limitations and challenges in life, you can truly become YOUR BEST SELF NOW.
The Principles
Being Fearless is not the absence of fear but the choices and decisions we make when fear shows up in our life.
Making changes in life demands courage to confront what we are unwilling to look at, and boldly step beyond it. It is a choice we make to improve the quality of the life we are living.
Fear is one of the most powerful motivating forces in the human experience. It is the clarion call that signals there is something you to need to change in order to live a completely fulfilled life. Honoring this call is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
Jacqueline Wales and The Fearless Factor adheres to this philosophy and offers support and encouragement to everyone who chooses to become their BEST SELF NOW.
The Fearless Factor is Making a Difference
Each year millions of children throughout the world go uneducated. As a global nomad who has lived on three continents and now live in New York and Bali, I believe passionately that children are our hope to create a better world.
As part of my involvement in Bali, I donate 10% of all my income towards educating children through the Kembali project.
“KEMBALI” means “RETURN” in the Indonesian language – and YOU can help many unfortunate kids to “RETURN” TO SCHOOL!
One of the roots of poverty is the lack of basic education but it is difficult to send your children to school if you cannot afford the fees. Since the economic downturn in Indonesia in 1998, many families have found it difficult to the pay school fees for their children. The difficulties following the terrorist incident in Bali in October 2002 further increased their financial problems. Too many children have dropped out of school even before they reached the end of Junior High School; some are even quitting in Primary grades.
The “KEMBALI – Return to School Fund” is a scholarship program established in October 2004 by YKIP to assist impoverished children in Bali with their educational costs.
You can help by sponsoring directly or indirectly a child’s education – either just one year, until he or she graduates from Junior High School or until graduation from Senior High School.
The cost is about US $165 per year to educate a child in primary school and about US $260 a year for Junior High School (this includes the administrative costs). To learn more about the Kembali project please visit alfoundation.org for details or contact Jacqueline directly to learn more.
