The children at Piitoayis seemed more accepting and open to building a relationship right off the bat, where I noticed the children were more cautious in the acute setting. I believe this stems from vulnerability, as they are sick and not somewhere where they may not necessarily feel comfortable (like being at home or being around their friends). Safety was another topic that was emphasized in our lecture. For community, we spoke in regards to school safety (by having a locked school, checking in & out at office and before getting on the school bus, and daily routine) and for acute, we focused on physical/health safety (constant supervision, emergency supply checks, IV checks every hour, vital signs every 4 hours, triple checks for dosage calculations). All of these are so important and must be held at a very high standard in all settings. I found the experience at Piitoayis very insightful, as many of these children come from marginalized families with very different background
