III.TESTIMONIES
Fred(Keystone school):I am a testimony to the positive change HROC brought into my life. It takes one more energy and patience to get to collaborate with the little angels I teach.I now understand that people may experience trauma, and show their emotions according to their personalities.
Thank you so much HROC.
Alex(Birira School): I have decided to keep my files,so that I can evaluate the work that I am doing while helping my pupils.
I am learning and I am getting clear with some of the questions that I used to ask to my self. I thought emotions are only what people feel, but I know that it involves people’s behaviours and what they do.
I am glad for this.
Thierry(Kitabura School):HROC should be included into our daily activities. Find a short time to play,listen and share our feelings with kids.I learnt that I will not only listen to feelings but also to emotions Thank you so much HROC.
Helene(headmistress Kivumu School):
I know I have changed much from the way I use to deal with pupils and teachers in general.Now I can identify my own emotions and those of whom I work and live with.
