I retired recently and volunteered for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentoring Program last September for the first time. I have two friends who
have mentored kids and thought it sounded like a fun thing to do. I
easily manage one hour a week at the local school my mentee attends. Both
her teacher and family members have told me how much our visits mean to this little
girl. All we do is hang out and play together, but she is always so
happy to see me.
We have baked cookies, played in the gym and playground,
read and played games. She is very creative and spontaneous and always
comes up with inventive things to do. I never know what to
expect! We have a nice friendship developing and both look forward to
continuing to meet in September.
Best regards,
Barbara Elliott
