You don’t have to change your life to change his.
The campaign is on to
find 100 good men
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Halton has launched a campaign to find 100 men! The agency needs you to get the word out to all those men who you think can make a difference in the life of a child. They could be your father, brother, cousin or friend. For as little as one hour a week, being a buddy to a boy can change, empower, educate and liberate both child and adult.
What better time to kickoff an ambitious, no-holds-barred campaign to sign up 100 men. The campaign is a response to a severe shortage of male volunteers in Halton.
Call (905) 339-2355 or (905) 878-8840 or visit www.bbbshalton.ca to find out how you can be part of something BIG.
“Ashley has a lot of energy and it takes a lot of energy to keep up with her and sometimes that’s hard when I’m juggling three jobs. Since her Big Sister Lorena came along she’s calmer and she’s allowed me to get closer to her. Our relationship’s gotten much stronger.”
Michelle, Parent
“When I received you as a Big Sister I realized how lucky I was but I never told you. You helped me through the worst days of my life and shared the good days with me. You are my best friend and that will never leave my heart.”
Little Sister, Angela in what she describes
as a “long overdue thank you”, 11 years after
being matched with her Big Sister, Annette
“Big Brothers Big Sisters gave me the learning experience of a lifetime. They invited me to a conference in Ottawa concerning youth at risk. This gave me the opportunity to learn something about myself that I didn’t really know. It brought up my self-confidence and self-esteem and desire to succeed. I was impressed by some of the programs other people were talking about. I think programs should enhance young people’s self-esteem, giving them responsibility and trusting them to make their own judgements. It’s like Big Brothers Big Sisters - it’s better to prevent problems than to fix them later.”
Angela, former Little Sister, delegate to Youth Partnership, Youth at Risk (1999)
“Dear Big Brothers Big Sisters,
I really love my Big Sister, she is just what I always wanted in a friend that I could call my own. She means the world to me. I want to “Thank You” for giving me such a wonderful Big Sister.”
Little Sister, Angela
