With
help from a student aide for an indigenous ministry in Jordan, a young
refugee girl from Iraq expresses repressed feelings about atrocities by
Islamic State terrorists. The director of the church school offering
education to refugee children noted that a 7-year-old Iraqi girl had
difficulty concentrating, a common symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD). Also speech-delayed, she needed a student aide to help
her adjust after the ordeal of escaping Iraq with her mother and
brother. The family had spent a year sleeping on the streets and in
parking garages. “Since starting at the church school, she is a lot
happier,” the director said. “In the classroom she is happy to
participate with the other students. Having a student aide/teaching
assistant enables her to participate without distracting the rest of the
class.” The ministry needs eight aides for eight traumatized children
at a cost of $1,500 per month for all eight assistants – also refugees
who benefit from the employment.
