““Lolita was a God-send gift to both the teachers and myself at the School of Nations! At a time when we were not sure how to deal with some issues with the students, she was able to give some very insightful advice to us on how to deal with these problems and make both us and the students feel empowered. Later, when meeting with the parents, a similar feeling was felt by them. I feel that anytime we need counseling advice we know exactly where to turn to now!””
