Testimonials about this project

Agradecemos muito o módulo, esse projeto maravilhoso que veio pra somar e nos ajudar a lidar com essas situações, talvez se nós não tivéssemos no meio dessa reflexão do módulo, não saberíamos lidar e identificar oque estava acontecendo com esse aluno.

In the “Alimentação saudável” (“Healthy Food”) Instructional unit, a woman was having serious problems with her son’s food and, thanks to the course, she said she had gained a new perspective and was going to apply what she learned at home.

My gratification came during the presentation of the last Instructional Unit (child first aid II). When parents asked when the next meeting would take place. I was quite pleased because family attendance is very difficult regardless of our efforts.
