I am Studying at the University of the Witwatersrand to be come a teacher. My goal is to be an inspiration to children so when they grow up they are able to proudly say that they were a student of mine as i am proud to be a student of Little Folks.

My three siblings and I all attended Little Folks. Going down memory lane i recall fun stuff like dress up parties, Hajj day, gift exchange day and my favourite, THE POOL! I am now a qualified Chartered Accountant.

The nurturing and motivational environment that was created by Apa Sajeda at Little Folks Nursery was the first step along the long, winding path to my educational and life goals. One being to matriculate as the Dux Scholar with distinctions in all my subjects.
