One Love, now a community movement, was developed in 2010 by two Dallas women: Jennifer Chitwood and Melody Moore. They answered the call and took part in the 2010 Global Seva Challenge for South Africa. They were able to challenge the greater North Texas community to raise over $80,000 to help the people of South Africa who are suffering from the HIV/AIDS endemic.
In 2011, Off the Mat, Into the World’s Global Seva Challenge was to raise much needed funds for the sufferers of the Earthquake in Haiti. Jenn Usherr and Anne Lenhardt courageously took One Love 108 and Rock the Love: Haitian Love Call to the next level and raised significant funds for Haiti.
In 2012, Jen Chitwood and Melody Moore, and hopefully a few others from Dallas committed to joining the cause, will be taking the Seva Challenge once again, this time to raise money to fight sex trafficking in India. One Love Dallas 108 will be the first fundraiser of the year, to take place on 4/28/12.
