“Can you teach an ‘old dog new tricks’? Yes, you can! I am now able to be mindful and help a child find their strengths. I am now able to breathe through a tense situation. I am now able to be far more patient and tolerant and, I believe, more helpful. I am now able to sit with children and allow them to steer their ship and reach their own solutions and destinations.” Sue Kriel

“It is so useful to look at life and people through new eyes, to see past the problem and see the person. At last an alternative solution to creating self discipline and placing the goal of learning and living in the child’s hands” Desiree Louw

“Jacqui you have really rescued teachers who have a heavy load on their shoulders” Pulane Meyiwa
