My droom vir my besigheid is om ons volgende Wetenskaplikes “groot” te maak. Wanneer ek eendag in die media hoor van die Wetenskaplike wat ‘n “cure” vir kanker of HIV gekry het wil ek met trots kan sê dat ek deel was van die “groot maak” proses!!!

“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge” ~ Carl Sagan. Science is about encouraging curiosity, for through curiosity we expand our minds. I love that, through little lab coats, I am able to teach children that science is cool and exciting, instead of scary and difficult.

Never before have I been appreciated or rewarded weekly for just doing my job – now, teaching Little Lab Coats, every week is rewarding just seeing the children’s faces, reactions, joy and growth. The parents also appreciate and realize the value of our program, we are laying the foundation for something bigger.
