How we can help the Myanmar's refugee children?

Assalamualaikum. :)
Let us ponder on how we could help those Myanmar refugees children in school, especially as counselors.
First and foremost, the most important thing that we need to gather from them is their needs assessment. From there we can know how we could help them having better life. Counselors competencies are importants in dealing with multicultural people. They need to:
-ability to recognize direct and indirect communication style
- linguistic differences
-concern with the welfare of person from another culture
- awareness of the relationship
- Learning the language of another culture is an effective way – to increase one’s information

As counselors also, we need to have knowledge on the client, especially from another culture.
Criteria of knowledge:
- Specific knowledge about the culture
- know the history, values, attitudes
- has information about the resources
- know about her/ his own culture in relation to others culture

We also need to acquire specific sets of skills in dealing with multicultural client.The skills should has an appropriate teaching style, has appropriate training technique, has ability to built rapport with person from other culture and has creativity.

Dealing with those minority groups of people in school, we should not touch on their sensitivity issues as it will hurt them and made them not comfortable to share their problems with counselors. We should also know how to buil rapport with them, and use language that they understand which make us need to learn their language, in order to make use easy to deal with them.

There are many things that we need to take care on when counseling with people from other culture. We think that's all for now. We'll update more in the next entry. Adios people. :)
