Hello! My name is James Mapaye. I was born in the Philippines and spent most of my childhood there. My family migrated to Western Australia in 2012 to follow my dad who was working here from three years prior. I came across Earbus while looking for volunteer work in 2019 and since then I have been supporting the Northbridge staff with any admin work they need help with.

I am a Yamatji woman and very passionate about health. Watching my Nanna and the impact she made helping Aboriginal children both at school and culturally made me want to help my mob but in a different way. I want to be a nurse in the near future. I am honoured to work for Earbus Foundation and be part of helping Indigenous children. I realise that improving Ear Health will improve children’s chance to learn and gain a better education, as my Nana intended.
