Unfortunately, we found that many of the children are confronting serious challenges, including physical abuse that leads to complex emotional difficulties, addiction to adult content, and a turbulent and stressful home environment. They also experience anxiety and sleeplessness due to fears from horror movies, struggle with tobacco use and related addictions, and face pressure to engage in illegal activities to avoid ridicule. These issues are significantly affecting their overall well-being.
These challenges hinder our staff's ability to deliver effective one-on-one counseling, particularly given the strong influence of local youth on the children. To address this, our team has been undergoing specialized training to enhance their support and counseling skills. It is genuinely encouraging to witness the children becoming more open with their teachers.
