Palesa joined Pathways at the end of 2004, when we were operating
 unofficially three days a week, with three pupils. Palesa previously
 assisted a family with their disabled child. She was recommended
 by our physiotherapist, Estelle Brown who was impressed by her ability
 and enthusiasm to work with disabled children.

 Palesa's thirst for knowledge and talents has meant she has gained the
 necessary skills very quickly. She enjoys the physiotherapy activities and    
 always keen to learn more. She loves give her pupils lots of love and cuddles, 
 her pupils adore her.

Mapula made a dramatic change in her life 5 years ago, she moved to the UK, and found herself in the world of special needs, she got a job working with children and young adults with severe autism. This changed her life direction, she returned to South Africa, turned her back on the corporate world and followed her heart and dreams of working with children.

Mapula found her way to Pathways Roodepoort. Mapula is gentle and patient, she has all the skills and the heart to work with our special children.
