something important, and giving them books, like books had some value, and playing with them. And done by people they look up to, other students in the same position they are (sorry, anyone over 20 and out of school is out of that club, just accept it). That alone will make a lifetime impression, actually demonstrated for them by someone THEY view as a peer.

You know where this world is going if more people go down that path, don't you?

Thank you. And thank those teachers. There really should be a news story on that, in NM, then to youtube. (Or maybe the elementary kids, as a group, could borrow a phone and make a video to say thank you and give them suggestions for next time. Like a hint.).
