Hello fellow mentors!
Sarah is in Haiti this week. Prayers for her as she visits a country that holds her heart are appreciated!
Today while mentoring one of our kids asked if they would still have a mentor in fourth grade. I thought it was so cute. As a room, we started talking about having a mentor until the child goes to Jr. High. My child, Reed, said so proudly, "I have been in Kid's Hope since the beginning...... I was in fourth grade." It was so special for me to see Reed excited about Kid's Hope and how long he has been involved in it. I can't believe this is my last year with him. I am so sad that I will only have 8 more meetings with him. After three years of being his "mentor" I will simply become his friend.
Please remember as you meet with your child this week, this is about relationship. It is not about math, spelling or science. It is about you having hope for a child. It is about you making a child believe they are worthy of your time and attention. I know that it seems small- to sit in a room for an hour once a week, but I know we are impacting the rest of their lives.
Thanks guys!
