The children were usually behind in both math and language, and struggled with various behavioral (ADD), and emotional problems. We worked daily on personal hygiene (brushing teeth before class), proper behavior, and education fundamentals. My role extended beyond being an instructor. I was a friend giving hugs, providing emotional support, and acting as a stable resource.Item Public Health / Humanitarian ICRP at CEISAN in Quito(2003) Maurissen, Stéphanie L.C.; Solberg, Janet L.
